THE IMPACT OF AMRRIC’S WORK IN REMOTE COMMUNITIES

(July 2023 – July 2024)

 

About Us

AMRRIC (Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities) is a national not-for-profit organisation that works with remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to improve the health of their companion animals. In doing so, we are helping to create healthier, safer and happier communities.

Our Work

AMRRIC’s work focuses on companion animals. To date, the biggest need has been around dogs, which have been the focus of many of our resources and projects. However, recognising the increase in cats being kept as pets in remote communities, AMRRIC’s focus has broadened. AMRRIC’s work involves facilitating improved community access to culturally relevant services, information and educational resources for pets and their owners.

Education

A significant component of AMRRIC’s work is education, capacity building and the sharing of knowledge. We have developed a range of outstanding resources to support our training, school educations and field programs.
