We hope you can join us for our next CLE session The Animal Welfare Act 2025 (SA) – reflection and review with speaker Frankie Bray.
The session will cover:
- Changes to enforcement (increased penalties and powers for RSPCA inspectors)
- Positive duty of care
- The inclusion of fish in the definition of animal (but the exclusion of decapods and cephalopods)
- Spotlight on the greyhound racing industry
There will also be a reflection on where the new legislation still falls short, and where we can look to for examples of how to do better.
