The state government has established the State’s Animal Welfare Advisory Committee which will ensure that the appropriate systems are being met in accordance with WA’s reasonable expectations.
The new committee was agreed upon as part of the election commitment of the McGowan Government and will offer advice to Agriculture and Food Minister and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development on any matters involving the welfare of an animal.
This advice will include information on animal welfare policies, legislations, regulations and standards, training standards for animal welfare inspectors, community education and research.
