Taree Supporter Group

The RSPCA NSW Taree Supporter Group serves as the cornerstone of our work in the Taree region. Composed entirely of dedicated volunteers, the group works to improve animal welfare outcomes for local families and their pets.

Their efforts go beyond advocacy to include practical support such as providing financial assistance for emergency veterinary care and other essential services. 

This vital support helps ensure pets in the community receive the care they need, including microchipping, vaccinations, and treatment for urgent health needs for owners who are struggling to afford these critical services. 

The Supporter Group meets four times a year at 1pm on the third Friday of March, June, September and December. 

The Supporter Group is actively seeking new volunteers to assist the Fundraising Officer with community stalls held throughout the year, as well as other activities and events. Volunteers are also needed to empty donation bins located in Harrington, Old Bar, Wingham, and Taree, and to collate and distribute food to local community services and individuals in need. 

If you have a passion for animal welfare and enjoy connecting with like-minded people, why not lend a helping hand and become a volunteer in the Taree area today? Contact the Taree Supporter Group via the contact details below.

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 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.
