Albury Volunteer Branch

The RSPCA NSW Albury Volunteer Branch is the backbone of our work in the Albury community. Run exclusively by volunteers, the branch plays a vital role in improving animal welfare in the community by providing targeted financial assistance and advocating for animals in need.

In 2023, the branch helped run a free community desexing drive in the Albury-Wodonga area. Using local funds raised in collaboration with Dunroamin Animal Rescue, the branch helped desex, microchip, and vaccinate 146 local animals. Uniting our Inspectorate, Education team, our Community Outreach Officers, the Hume Animal Hospital, and the Albury City Council, the five-day effort allowed the branch to support the community and their pets.

If you have a genuine concern for animals and enjoy meeting like-minded people, why not lend a helping hand and become a volunteer today? Help us support local animal lovers by raising funds for animal care animals by joining the Albury Volunteer Branch and making a difference for people and animals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do volunteer branches and supporter groups respond to animal cruelty complaints?

Our volunteer branches and supporter groups cannot investigate animal cruelty matters. If you need to make an animal cruelty report, please phone our 24-hour contact centre on 1300 278 3589.

Though many of our branches and supporter groups offer subsidised desexing and emergency veterinary assistance, we encourage you to contact your nearest branch, supporter or community volunteer group to inquire about the services and discounts we provide.

Money raised by our branches and supporter groups is spent to address the needs of the local community. With the endorsement of its members, branches also occasionally allocate funds to the wider organisation, to be used for events or community programs that promote the improvement of animal welfare.

Our branches and supporter groups do not function as animal shelters. They instead raise funds for our organisation and assist with outreach animal assistance.

You do not need to be a RSPCA NSW financial member to volunteer at any of our shelters and adoption centres, branches, supporter groups, or events. Conversely, becoming a volunteer does not automatically make you a member. However, if you wish to join the executive committee at one of our regional branches or supporter groups or want to have voting rights within that branch or group, you will need to become a financial member first.

While volunteers do not receive exclusive discounts or event admission, we frequently offer promotions, special invitations, and discounts to events to all our supporters.
Unfortunately, every state runs a different membership program. You will need to reapply to volunteer with a specific RSPCA.
