Animal Welfare

General standards for exhibiting animals in NSW

These standards apply to all animals displayed, or kept for display, by exhibitors authorised under the Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986 (EAPA).

The standards within this publication have been primarily developed to ensure the welfare of animals kept for exhibit purposes but cover a range of areas including:

  • psychological and physical animal welfare;
  • educational value of exhibits;
  • public safety;
  • guidelines for new or existing displays; and
  • legal effect.
