Animals in Need
What happens to a sick or injured animal whose owner cannot afford to pay for its veterinary care?
Animals in Need makes sure any animal gets the veterinary care they need. From dogs and cats to snakes and spiders, we provide the best possible care for vulnerable patients, all thanks to the generous support of people like you.

HopeStreet Pet Clinic
It can be confronting for a person experiencing homelessness or disadvantage to have a pet needing veterinary care. For many marginalised people, their pet may be their closest companion.
With the support of people like you, we're able to run a monthly pop-up clinic, HopeStreet, which offers free vet care to animals in need.
Save Australian native animals

Help koalas survive climate change
For koalas living in the Eastern states, extreme temperatures are drying out the eucalyptus leaves that once provided them with all the water they required. Dr Valentina Mella has discovered that koalas will supplement their water needs at drinking stations during extreme weather.
With your help, we can set up more koala drinking stations in threatened koala communities.
We have lost 85% of the Tasmanian devil population to a type of cancer.
Protect the Tasmanian devil
Extinction once seemed inevitable for the Tasmanian devil, but on an expedition to the state's remote southwest, researchers made a discovery that could help protect the species.
With your support, we can send more researchers into the region and be one step closer to saving this incredible creature.
