A new chapter for RSPCA Pet Insurance launching soon​

From 1 April 2026, RSPCA Pet Insurance will be offered through a new insurance partner. This marks an exciting new chapter for Australia’s most trusted and recognised pet insurance brand.

The new RSPCA Pet Insurance has been designed for pets and the people who love them by the people who know animals. New policies purchased will continue to help support the ongoing work of the RSPCA and contribute directly to animal welfare initiatives across Australia.

If you already have an RSPCA Pet Insurance policy, it will continue to be honoured until it expires. Shortly before your policy expires you will also receive details on the date of expiry of your policy and how to take out a non-RSPCA replacement policy covered by the current administrator and insurer. If you wish to support the RSPCA after your policy expires, you will need to take out a new policy with RSPCA Pet Insurance after 1 April 2026.

We are not yet able to provide full details of the new RSPCA Pet Insurance offering. Further details will be provided from the launch on 1 April.

A new RSPCA Pet Insurance is on its way — and we can’t wait to share what’s ahead.
