As 2023 commenced, staff at RSPCA Tasmania have been surprised and delighted to receive so many enquiries and bookings for the new RSPCA Tasmania AWARE program. This inaugural program for 2023 is a completely free, educational opportunity for kids, parents and community groups of all ages to access presentations, educational modules of training and an extensive knowledgebase of information and articles; raising awareness about animals from all walks of life and how best to understand, look after, seek help and be actively involved in positive animal experiences. Each initial presentation is conducted by members of the statewide educational outreach team and is tailored to each audience from kindergarten through to college, community, cultural and special interest groups.

Did your animal family come from the RSPCA?

Does your pet have a great story to tell us and our supporters?

These presentations can be held off-site at kindergartens, schools, colleges, Scout/Guide hall and community centers, or on-site at the RSPCA Tasmania Outreach Centre in Hobarts northern suburbs.

Presentations are about 40 minutes long and promise to be interesting, entertaining and engaging and are designed to leave all participants, families and educators, with access pathways to explore their interests through free further training modules and topics over the course of 2023,

During the year, we have many events, appeals, education presentations (AWARE) and more.

We are inviting all pet parents who have adopted from RSPCA, to send us two high resolution photos of their furry, feathered, finned family members, one in a horizontal format and one in a vertical format and tell us a little bit about why you decided to adopt not shop and a bit about your special family member, such as how they entered your life, what’s great about them and anything else you’d like to share about them really!

Make it PAWsible

which can be done at their own pace or supported by the RSPCA Tasmania educational outreach team.

Finally, the AWARE in this program’s name, is called an Acronym. Acronym is a word, where each letter stands for the start of another word, usually associated with the acronym. So each letter in AWARE stands for the first letter of another word that this program focuses on. Do you know what these words are?
