The Western Australian Government is delivering on our commitment to improve the welfare of companion animals and wildlife through grants for not-for-profit activities that foster or rehome pets, rehabilitate wildlife, or provide low cost or free animal health and veterinary services.

The Animal Welfare Grant Program will offer grants of up to $50,000 (excluding GST) to eligible organisations. The Grant Program, administered by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), will run for 2 years, commencing in 2025-26 financial year. One round will run each financial year.

These grants recognise that companion animals play a significant role in the lives of Western Australians and are an example of the Government’s continued commitment to improving the welfare of animals in WA.
