Meet Andrea

 

Andrea is the Head of Animal Welfare for RSPCA South Australia. Her team of Inspectors, Rescue Officer, Legal staff and Advocacy are really busy!

As a team they have a broad range of jobs. Team members respond to reports of cruelty or neglect, attend rescues where animals find themselves in danger, attend court to deal with legal and talk to the State Government about changes to laws that could improve the welfare of animals in our communities. 

It is important for Andrea's team know how to look after all types of animals that they might see on inspections or rescues. They provide basic first care for these animals before they are seen by our vet team.

Andrea and her team members play a very important role helping the animals of South Australia when the animals are at risk. It can sometimes be stressful or even dangerous for the staff involved, so Andrea works hard to make her team feel safe and supported.
