Our Partners

From councils to community members, sponsors to volunteers - partnerships are at the heart of sustainable change.

Real change cannot be achieved alone. At Remote Animal Assistance, we are proud to work alongside a network of partners who share our vision of healthier dogs, safer communities, and long-term solutions. Every partner plays a vital role in breaking the cycle of preventable suffering.

Our Sponsors

Our corporate sponsors make it possible to turn strategy into action. By providing steady financial support and in-kind resources, they help cover the essential costs that keep our work moving forward. Their investment in prevention and community led solutions is a statement of shared responsibility and a commitment to building a future where remote communities no longer face this crisis.

Local Councils

Local councils in remote and regional Queensland are tasked with managing animal issues as part of their broader responsibilities. This often includes:

Enforcing local bylaws around roaming dogs, registration, and desexing requirements
Responding to complaints about dog attacks or public safety risks
Operating or funding pounds to hold and rehome roaming animals
Running occasional desexing or vaccination programs when funding is available
Allocating limited budgets to animal management alongside pressing priorities such as housing, waste, and infrastructure

Despite these responsibilities, councils are not funded or equipped to provide consistent veterinary services, long term community education, or preventative programs that address the root causes of overpopulation and disease.

That is where partnership becomes so important. Remote Animal Assistance works alongside councils to strengthen capacity, fill critical service gaps, and shift from reactive ‘Band Aid’ responses to proactive, community led solutions. Together, we can create lasting frameworks that protect both people and animals, while reducing the ongoing strain on council resources.

Animal Management Officers

Animal Management Officers (AMOs) play a critical role in their communities, often balancing compliance duties with the reality of being the first call when animals are suffering. We recognise the pressure this places on AMOs and work alongside them to provide support and practical pathways for better outcomes. By working hand in hand, we can reduce crisis call outs and create healthier, safer environments for both people and animals.

Community Members

The heart of this work lies within the communities themselves. Residents are not bystanders to the crisis – they are the solution. By sharing their knowledge, values, and lived experiences, community members shape the programs and strategies that will actually last. Every act of care, every partnership, and every conversation with community members brings us closer to ending the cycle of suffering together.
