RSPCA Victoria’s Outreach programs aim to make preventative veterinary care and support more accessible for community members and their pets. Our goal is to improve animal welfare in the community and deliver positive outcomes, both for people and their pets by maintaining and strengthening the human-animal bond.
We’re working in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne to prevent animal cruelty before it begins by providing low-cost and means-tested services, along with education, and emergency support. The program aims to build empathy, change behaviours, improve human and animal health while providing a safety net for pets in the region. Learn more about our Peninsula Pet Net Program
The Mildura Loves Pets program launched in July 2021 and concluded in April 2023.
This initiative aimed to support pet owners in the Mildura region to improve the welfare of their animals. A dedicated Community Liaison Officer was placed in the Mildura community with support from a team of passionate Inspectors in the region.
We are proud to announce that over 3,500 dog and cats were vaccinated during the duration of the project. In addition to this – over 800 dogs and cats were desexed. We would like to thank the Mildura community for their generous support during this time.
