Nearly 700 calls - one preventable tragedy after another 🚗🔥
RSPCA Qld receives almost 60 calls every month about dogs left in hot cars. With temps rising across the state, remember: a parked car can become deadly in minutes.

Queenslanders love taking their dogs everywhere, but plans change and not all places are dog-friendly. And what starts as a fun outing can quickly turn life-threatening.

🐶 If you’re not 100% sure your dog can stay with you the whole time, please leave them safely at home. No animal should ever suffer or lose their life by being left in a hot car.

⚖️ What about penalties?
Recent amendments to the Animal Care and Protection Act mean failure of duty of care, including leaving an animal in a car causing suffering or death, can attract fines up to $333,800 or 3 years imprisonment.

Queensland Police can also charge serious animal cruelty under the Criminal Code of up to 7 years.

‼️ If you see an animal locked in a hot car:
☎️ Call 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625)
👮‍♀️ Or 000 if the pet needs urgent assistance
🏢 Alert Centre Management immediately if you're in a carpark

NEW LOOK-NEW-NAME-BUT STILL THE SAME CHARM.

Anyone that has driven past Andergrove Van Park lately will have probably noticed a few changes going on. The park is going through a transformation and it’s looking really good! The most obvious change is the name, the parks new name is Mackay Caravan Park.

Tanya Rayner, the parks new manager is delighted with the progress and said, “The park is now aligning with requisite standards set by the group”. From all accounts guests at the park are liking the new look too.

A few months ago, the park joined forces with the RSPCA through the Container’s for Change initiative to raise ongoing funds for animal care and welfare, Rob Hobbs RSPCA volunteer and advocate for the initiative is delighted with how things have progressed. “Everyone at the Mackay RSPCA want to congratulate Tanya and all her team on the new look and rebranding, we also want to announce a huge milestone has been achieved with container collection at the park”. With hundreds of containers being collected each month, the funds go a long way to helping animal care and welfare at the RSPCA.

With visible signage at all collection points around the park the guests are happily contributing to the cause every time they place containers into the bins. Many guests are attracted to the park because of its “pet friendly environment” some of the facilities actually cater for them with safe enclosed dog runs large open grassed areas for long walks to name a couple. "The growing trend with people traveling with furry companions is not just limited to dogs, cats and birds have also been spotted with some of our guests" said Tanya.

From all the staff and volunteers and the animals in our care at RSPCA Mackay we would like to extend our congratulations to Tanya and all her team with the parks new look and for the unwavering fundraising support. A special mention to all the guests who contributed as well.

Hi! I'm Aster, your future bundle of joy! Here in my temporary home, I spend my days dreaming of long walks and even longer play sessions. I'm a very sweet girl who loves all outdoor activities and even nice long cuddles at the end of the day. I've got energy to spare and a knack for making everyone laugh with my goofy antics. Tug-of-war? Fetch? I'm game for it all! I adore being around people, and nothing makes me happier than a good belly rub after a busy day of fun. I'd love a home with someone who goes on lots of adventures so I can get all of my energy out, someone who will walk me and someone who will give me lots of time and attention! Looking for a loyal friend who can keep up with your active life and fill your days with laughter? I'm your girl! Let's make endless memories together!

Planting for the future 🌱🌏
A huge thank you to Mayor Rosanna Natoli and the Sunshine Coast Council for donating an unused paddock and 2,000 trees for the creation of a dedicated fodder plantation for the local koala population.

Once mature, these trees will give our RSPCA Wildlife team easy access to fresh, nutritious leaves for rescued koalas, a much-needed boost at a time when quality fodder is increasingly hard to find, with our team having to travel long distances to find enough food. This new plantation will make a real difference for our teams and the koalas who rely on them.

Over the weekend, our dedicated group of keen volunteer gardeners rolled up their sleeves for a tree-planting blitz, as well as learning about the eucalyptus varieties koalas prefer and how this plantation will support wildlife.

In just a few years, these trees will be providing the leafy meals our koalas depend on 🐨🌿

This initiative is a wonderful example of how Council and RSPCA Queensland can work together to support our iconic koalas, and we’re looking forward to forming similar collaborations with other Councils across Queensland.

Thank you once again to Mayor Rosanna Natoli and the Sunshine Coast Council for helping create a greener, safer future for our wildlife ❤️

🐨❤️‍🩹 Mum and bub, Erica and Precious, are released - again.

The heartbreaking reality of life for Erica and her joey Precious has touched our hearts. Two rescues in a matter weeks. From a baby, orphaned, alone and on a busy road. To a mum suffering from a dog attack.

Neither would make it without human intervention. Without us, together. Koala Rescue Brisbane South Inc. and the members of public who called it in - we thank you.

🐨❤️‍🩹 Repeat visitors.
Erica and her joey, Precious, return to the RSPCA Wildlife Hospital once again

Just weeks earlier the pair had been released following a beautiful in care reuniting with mum and bub calling to each other across the unit. This time, Erica was suffering greatly from a dog attack, with deep puncture wounds across her lower back.

Precious, her joey who was old enough to be back-riding at the time, was lucky to have escaped injury.

Both were quickly brought to the RSPCA by the wonderful team, and previous rescuers of the pair, Koala Rescue Brisbane South Inc..

At the RSPCA Wildlife Hospital, Erica was met with kindness and expert care. Our team gently cleaned her wounds, eased her pain, and made sure every step of her recovery brought her closer to the life she deserves - back in the wild, joey at her side.

Dog attacks are the second leading cause of koalas needing rescue and rehabiliation. It happens in a moment. Dog owners, please care for our iconic and endangered wildlife by keeping your pet leashed on walks and securely contained.

🐨❤️‍🩹 Precious had already captured so many hearts when he was filmed crawling along a busy road at Whites Hill Reserve; alone and calling out for Mum. Still just 7 months old, his story and struggles of living in today's world continue.

Koala Rescue Brisbane South were on the scene and bringing this young joey into the RSPCA Widlife Hospital within moments. RSPCA vets provided Precious with the warmth and safety he needed as he clung to a rolled up towel, mimicking Mum.

Meanwhile, back at Whites Hill Reserve, an adult koala was spotted in a tree with a distended pouch. With time and patience the team were able to coax her down to find she had all the tellings of a recent mum, but no joey in sight.

Brought in to the RSPCA Wildlife Hospital, it wasn't long before cries sung out across the room. Mother and son seeking one another and finally, reunited.

A safe and beautiful reunite. We wish this was the last time we saw of Precious and Mum, Erica our iconic and endangered wildlife. But sadly, their story continues.

A huge thank you to the caller who reported Precious while he was out walking his dog and of course to the works of Koala Rescue Brisbane South Inc. for their diligent care. It's thanks to collaborations like this, that thousands of animals every year receive vital care.

100 years of progress, one mission: protecting animals 🐾❤️
Today marks a century since the passing of the Animals Protection Act 1925 - the landmark legislation that gave RSPCA Inspectors the legal powers to protect animals and enforce welfare standards across Queensland ⚖️

But the fight for animal welfare in Queensland began long before.

It started with a single Inspector in 1883, shortly joined by many Honorary Inspectors, all pursuing animal welfare and the welfare of children and elderly (yes, we once did more than animal welfare). But back then, Inspectors had no legal authority, just compassion, courage, and a mission to protect animals.

That all changed with the Animals Protection Act 1925, giving Inspectors formal powers alongside police and other authorised officers, guiding their work for decades.

It didn't stop there. In 2001, the Animal Care and Protection Act took animal welfare to the next level: strengthening Inspectors’ powers, increasing owners’ responsibilities, and introducing tougher penalties for cruelty.

Today, 34 Inspectors travel across Queensland, responding to over 14,000 animal welfare concerns every year and enforcing the law. And we continue working closely with the State Government, advocating for improvements to the Act and for higher welfare standards for all animals - from pets to livestock to wildlife 🐶🐮🐨

From humble beginnings to legal recognition, we’ve come a long way in 100 years. But one thing remains the same: protecting animals.

🌹 Today we remember them. To the fallen men and women who died in the line of duty, we remember you. To the animals whos...

🌹 Today we remember them. To the fallen men and women who died in the line of duty, we remember you. To the animals whose lives were lost by their sides, we remember you.

RSPCA does not promote nor glorify the suffering of animals in war. We recognise and solemnly honour their sacrifice, and today we remember all sacrifices of all animals in all wars. We also think of animals serving in current conflicts around the world.

Pictured: Jack Simpson Kirkpatrick and his donkey. Posthumously awarded the Purple Cross established by RSPCA Australia in 1993 to recognise the courage shown by the pack of donkeys who risked their lives in World War I.

Time to bust a few myths! 💥
Every day, RSPCA Inspectors are out on the road responding to reports of animal cruelty and neglect, but there are a lot of myths about what they can (and can’t) do.

From prosecutions to property access, Inspector Chantelle is busting 4 of the most common myths, straight from her car between jobs 🚗👮‍♀️

❌ Myth 1: We choose who we prosecute
❌ Myth 2: More reports = faster action
❌ Myth 3: We can enter any yard
❌ Myth 4: We’re the only ones investigating cruelty

So… how many did you know were myths? 🤔

Ever wondered what's in an RSPCA Inspector's toolkit? 👮‍♀️
Our Inspectors have come a long way since the very first Inspector hit the road 100 years ago with little more than a notebook and a whole lot of determination.

Today? They're equipped for anything.

Technology and training mean they're better equipped than ever to respond to animal welfare concerns and work safely in the community. It's no longer just a trusty notebook - now they have body cams, distress alarms, rescue gear, and so much more.

RSPCA Inspector Ben gives us a peek of the essential tools that help him protect animals and himself.

How many of these tools did you know inspectors carried? 🙋‍♀️

3,766 days in care 💔
That's the combined total of how long these furry friends have spent with us.

Not through any fault of their own, but because life doesn't always go the way it should - for pets or for people 😢

Some came from tough beginnings. Others just haven't had their chance to shine. But every single one of them has so much love left to give 🥰
