Darien Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Who is the governing body that governs rescue organisation? I don't mean the RSPCA, but those above rescue organisations? The only thing I have found is the Primary Industry? I need to know who to complain to to help an organisation run more efficiently and I also need to know the rules governing such a body. Another thing I need to know, does anyone know of a cattery that uses rags to clean out their cages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Pretty sure DPI is it. Where I've worked we use paper towel disinfectants/bleach to clean shelves etc and mops for floors. I see no issue with rags as long as they're using a new one for each cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) In Vic? Codes of Practice and associated legislation is administered by DELWP (previously DEPI, DPI). It may also come under council compliance but you will probably end up dealing with the RSPCA Inspectorate.

Darien Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 No NSW and I don't want to deal with the RSPCA in any form. In Vic? Codes of Practice and associated legislation is administered by DELWP (previously DEPI, DPI). It may also come under council compliance but you will probably end up dealing with the RSPCA Inspectorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yes pounds can also come under the council they are contracted to, so that's another option too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darien Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I had always assumed also that to look up a rescue organisation, you should be able to find all the committee members and what they do with funds etc, is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I had always assumed also that to look up a rescue organisation, you should be able to find all the committee members and what they do with funds etc, is that right? Not necessarily some are not charities and are not no profit - some are incorporated some are not - depends on how they are set up If its an MDBA rescue member you can bring it to our attention and we will deal with it. If not its the DPI - but good luck with that in NSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Depending on what your complaint is in NSW it may be difficult to avoid the RSPCA or AWL as they are charged with investigation and dealing with breaches or laws and codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha bet Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 All rescue groups regardless of who they are or are not associated with would still have to come under the local council/shire responsibility - this means that they have to have a permit thru council. In Victoria the Dept Primary Industry (or whatever they are called now) - have brought out a Domestic Animal Business Registration - hence any boarding, training, nannies, dog walking etc have to comply, this also applies to anyone conducting rescue. Hence your first port of call should be to your local council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
