Turn your passion into a career, and enquire about coming to work at the RSPCA.

Many people who care about animals consider turning their passion into a career, and enquire about coming to work at the RSPCA. While most people are familiar with our shelter staff and uniformed inspectors, there are actually a wide range of jobs available at the RSPCA.

For example, state and territory RSPCA member Societies also have staff working in the areas of communications, marketing, management, policy, fundraising, finance, and administration.

In addition to these fields, the RSPCA Australia national office in Canberra also employs staff for the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme, as well as the organisation's science and policy, communications and campaigns, marketing and partnerships, as well as administration and finance teams.
