The Working Animals Federation of Australia (WAFA) is committed to meaningful professional self-governance. WAFA\u2019s self-governance foundation comprises and depends upon a variety of codes and standards, supported by our Steering Committee and WAFA Members and Credential-holders. As an independent certification body we aim to provide quality assurance and rigour in all aspects of our operations.<\/p>

Originally conceived in early 2015, the Working Animals Federation of Australia took its official form on April 19, 2020. Presently, we are in the stages of seeking formal recognition as a social enterprise by Social Traders, a step that underscores our commitment to fostering positive societal impact through our endeavours. Our commitment to social impact is ingrained in everything we do. We strive to elevate standards for working animals, with an initial particular focus on assistance, therapy, and detection animals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As part of our dedication to inclusivity, we prioritise hiring staff who have disabilities or medical issues, recognising the unique perspectives and invaluable contributions they bring to our organisation.<\/b> \n

\nAs a social enterprise, WAFA operates with a clear purpose: to promote the well-being of working animals and ensure their contributions to society are recognised and valued. Our model aligns with the principles of social entrepreneurship, as we generate income through various activities while prioritising the public and community benefits of our initiatives. By addressing unmet needs within the community related to working animals, we strive to create a fairer and more sustainable world for both animals and humans alike.\n
\n
\nJoin us on our journey to make a difference in the lives of working animals and the communities they serve. Together, we can create a brighter future built on compassion, advocacy, and collaboration.
