RSPCA Darwin Regional Branch Incorporated has been the pre-eminent animal welfare organisation

in the Northern Territory for over 55 years. The organisation is the only shelter in NT affiliated with

RSPCA Australia and the international brand of the same name, though it is independently and locally

run and governed by a skilled volunteer Board.

The organisation is not government funded, and relies almost entirely on donations, fundraising

activities and grants to maintain the high level of care, service and advocacy for around 700 animals

that come into our care each year.

RSPCA Darwin accepts animals that are stray, orphaned, abandoned or have been abused or neglected

and are in need of medical assessment and treatment before they are rehabilitated and made ready

for rehoming. We also provide temporary care for animals that are involved in emergency health or

domestic violence situations, and who would have few alternative care options.

RSPCA Darwin operates at a very high level for the smallest RSPCA Member Society in Australia, thanks

to a team of dedicated staff and highly engaged volunteers. Our mission is to improve animal welfare

in the greater Darwin region through strong advocacy, education and providing animal rehoming

services. RSPCA Darwin continually aims to build community engagement and capability through

offering volunteer programs that cater for a wide range of abilities and experience.
