The Alliance for Animals aims to create an independent animal welfare policy system that works for animals, not against them.

Building a fairer Australia for animals

Support a #FairGoForAnimals

The #FairGoForAnimals campaign proposes a new framework for creating a more balanced and independent animal welfare governance system in Australia.

Achieving systemic change for animals

Reforming the broken system

Reforms include the establishment of a truly independent national commission for animal welfare, the creation of ministerial portfolios for animal welfare, and the introduction of a fair, consistent and transparent process for creating national animal welfare standards.

Making industry and government accountable

We are increasing transparency in animal welfare policy making and helping develop a stronger culture of accountability and integrity within government.

Strengthening animal representation

We are organising and unifying the animal welfare sector on key issues of common concern, working strategically with Australia’s leading animal protection organisations and other aligned groups on specific reform activities.

Animal welfare policy barometer

The animal welfare policy barometer presents and evaluates the findings of a representative national survey conducted by BehaviourWorks Australia exploring Australian attitudes and beliefs about animal welfare, the way it is governed, and how policy decisions are made.

“We envision a society where respect for the interests of animals and their wellbeing is enshrined in law, policy and practice.”
