The branch provides help to members of the community and their beloved pets through desexing, microchipping, food support and veterinary assistance during times of need. These programs are designed to support responsible pet ownership and assist families who may be doing it tough, while keeping pets healthy, safe and at home.
Branch members meet monthly from February to November, on the third Friday at 10:30am. Meetings offer a welcoming opportunity to connect, share ideas and plan activities that directly benefit animals and the local community.
If you are interested in volunteering in Bathurst and want to make a meaningful local impact, joining the Bathurst Volunteer Branch is a great way to meet like‑minded people, support local animals and contribute to the ongoing work of RSPCA NSW. Whether you assist at events, support community initiatives or help raise funds, your involvement can make a real difference for animals and families in need.

RSPCA NSW rehomes a range of different animals, from dogs, cats, and birds to horses, rabbits, and sheep! We believe that all creatures, great and small, can bring joy to our families and homes. Begin your adoption journey today and make an adorable lifelong friend!
By providing temporary homes for our animals, we can ensure they get the care they need until they are ready to be adopted. Join our network of foster carers for an incredibly rewarding experience; with your help, we can change the lives of some of the state’s most vulnerable animals.
We rely on our generous supporters to continue assisting the thousands of animals turning to RSPCA NSW for help. No matter how small your contribution, every gift makes a lifesaving difference for animals in need.
By raising funds and lending a hand to communities and their pets, our volunteers play a pivotal role in our work throughout NSW. If you have a genuine concern for animals and enjoy meeting like-minded people, consider becoming an RSPCA NSW volunteer today!
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.
