How to join
There are two ways to participate in the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme - as a producer or as a licensee. For information on the business benefits of the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme email us.
Producers
Approved Producers agree to abide by the RSPCA Australia Standards for some or all of their animal production. Once an Approved Producer enters into a Producer Agreement with RSPCA Australia, product produced in line with the Standards is regarded as Approved Product.
Approved Producers participating in the Scheme are subject to regular assessments to ensure adherence to the Standards is maintained.
