South East Animal Welfare League (SEAWL) was founded in 1972, and is a community based, not-for-profit organisation providing temporary shelter for lost and abandoned animals across the South East.

Through the hard work of their dedicated staff and volunteers, the SEAWL aims to provide lost, stray or ill-treated dogs and cats with a second chance at a safe and happy home.
Though the SEAWL receives some financial support from local councils, it continues to rely on the support of generous community members and local organisations.
SEAWL is currently working to rebuild their existing dog kennels and cattery to include more spaces to accommodate the needs of the growing community, and guarantee the animals housed with SEAWL receive the very best care.
The Rescue Collective was born from a love of animals and a concern about the lack of systems supporting animal rescue. Its aim is to simply support the people and organisations that care for sick and injured animals by creating a community of caring.
The Rescue Collective specialises in providing support to animal rescue groups and animal carers in tough times. Did you know that nearly all animal carers and rescue groups in Australia are self-funded? That makes it hard when tough times strike, like natural disasters, heat waves, drought, and medical emergencies or during ‘trauma season’ when native animals become more vulnerable.
Focused primarily on Queensland, but at times, such as the fires of 2019/20 , they extend aid to other Australian states and territories. The assistance provided allows for the financial, mental, physical, and psychological reprieve for those caring for animals, in turn allowing them to focus on what is most important – rescuing and rehabilitating animals.
