RSPCA Illawarra Volunteer Branch

RSPCA Illawarra Volunteer Branch Volunteer Branches are the backbone of the RSPCA's work in regional NSW. Each branch is run exclusively by volunteers and plays a vital role in fundraising

The RSPCA NSW Illawarra Shelter is located in Unanderra. It provides care and shelter to abandoned and neglected animals, including cats, dogs, livestock, pocket pets and poultry. The shelter is the animal holding facility for both Shellharbour and Wollongong City Councils, housing stray cats, dogs and livestock. It is supported by an active and dedicated volunteer branch who help with fundraising and maintaining the gardens.

RSPCA NSW Volunteer Branch and Supporter Group Network

As part of the RSPCA NSW volunteer branch and supporter group network, we’re proud of what we were able to achieve together across the state in the 2024/25 financial year.

With the support of our local communities through fundraising events, donations, and ongoing encouragement, we’ve helped provide vital support to pets and owners across NSW.

The ongoing support from the community makes a real difference to animal welfare in NSW, and we thank you.

We look forward to continuing this work and seeing what we can achieve together in 2025/26.
