Work for RSPCA and make a lifesaving difference to animals in need

RSPCA South Australia exists to prevent animal cruelty, while protecting and caring for animals. We do this by enforcing South Australia’s Animal Welfare Act, investigating reports of alleged animal cruelty and prosecuting cruelty offenders. We also run community education programs and adoption centres, and lobby government and industry for animal welfare improvements.

The work we do is highly rewarding, making RSPCA South Australia a positive and enjoyable place to work.
