Animals Australia is an Australian animal protection organisation. Its aim is to investigate and expose animal cruelty,[1] inspire kindness to animals through public awareness campaigns—particularly focused on farmed animals[2]—and provide funding and support to other animal organisations where appropriate, for example in emergency response during the 2019/2020 Australian Black Summer bushfires[3] and COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5]
Animals Australia's organisational vision is "a world where kindness, compassion and respect extend to all living beings. We shine a light in the darkness and illuminate the pathway to a kinder world for all."[6]
Animals Australia is a registered charity,[7] funded entirely by members of the public,[8] and was previously one of Animal Charity Evaluators Standout Charities.[9]
