The RSPCA is partly funded by the Australian Government. It is the leading animal welfare organisation in Australia. It also has many animal shelters for pet adoption, and many animal products in Australian supermarkets are from RSPCA-approved farms.
The RSPCA in Australia is inspired by the British RSPCA, an animal welfare charity in England and Wales.
