๐Ÿพ NSW Companion Animals Act Review โ€“ Have Your Say! ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿพ NSW Companion Animals Act Review โ€“ Have Your Say! ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿšจ Submissions close Sunday, May 4, 2025 ๐Ÿšจ

After years of advocacy, the NSW Government is finally reviewing the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 โ€” and your voice is urgently needed to help protect our native wildlife from the impacts of free-roaming pet cats.

๐Ÿฆ˜ Why it matters:
This outdated law currently prevents local Councils from setting and enforcing cat containment policies, leaving cats to roam, kill native wildlife, and spread diseases like toxoplasmosis. Itโ€™s time for a law that reflects modern expectations of responsible pet ownership.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Make a difference โ€“ three easy options:
โœ… Option A (quick & easy):
Use the Invasive Species Councilโ€™s free writing kit โ€“ theyโ€™ll send you a ready-to-go email template.
๐Ÿ”— Register here

โœ๏ธ Option B (most impactful):
Write a short email in your own words explaining why you believe cat containment is essential.
๐Ÿ“ง Email: ca.review@olg.nsw.gov.au
๐Ÿ“ Subject: Companion Animals Act Review

๐Ÿ’ก Ask for:

  • Statewide 24/7 cat containment laws
  • Mandatory desexing by 4 months
  • $9 million+ in support for Councils and education campaigns


๐Ÿ“„ Option C (official form):
Review the discussion paper and submit feedback via the online submission form on the Office of Local Government site.
๐Ÿ”— Submit here

๐ŸŒฟ Every submission helps push for change! Letโ€™s keep native wildlife safe, support responsible pet ownership, and empower Councils to act. Please share this widely. ๐Ÿจ๐Ÿฆ‰๐Ÿพ
