Animals enter our foster care system for a variety of reasons, including:

• Being too young for adoption
• Requiring medical treatment
• Undergoing rehabilitation
• Finding the shelter environment too stressful

By placing animals into foster homes, it provides them with the care and attention they need until they are ready to be adopted into loving forever homes.

What are the requirements to become an RSPCA NSW foster carer?

• At least 18 years old, with all residents of your household agreeing to foster animals
• provide a safe, secure environment (for dogs, 6ft high secured fencing with no gaps is required. For cats, they must remain indoors at all times)
• Have reliable transport (i.e., car), especially in the case of an emergency
• Live within 1.5 hours of your chosen fostering location
• Provide daily care and record your daily observations
• Complete an online foster care induction and quiz within 7 days
• Communicate openly and in a timely fashion with your fostering location

The RSPCA NSW has two op shops in NSW: Port Macquarie and Tweed Heads. They offer a range of clothes, home décor, kitchenware and more, with contributions making a lifesaving difference to abandoned, neglected, sick and surrendered RSPCA NSW animals.

Our op shops are always in need of high-quality second-hand goods, so please drop off anything you no longer want. It’s a great way to help RSPCA NSW animals.

If you're passionate about helping animal welfare, love customer service, have experience in data entry and or retail, please review the advertisements below and submit your expression of interest.

Our shelters throughout NSW care for more than 29,000 injured, neglected, sick, surrendered and unwanted animals each year. RSPCA NSW's shelters are a place where people can seek advice on their pet’s health and temperament. They are also a haven for animals that have been abandoned, lost, or have been victims of cruelty or neglect. We promote, support and facilitate animals in care.

We are looking for additional helpers in catteries, kennels, stables, pocket pets, laundry, cleaning, grounds keeping, maintenance, gardening, transportation, enrichment and so much more.
