Mobile Animal Care Services Grant

The NSW Government has committed a total of $2.5 million in one-off funding towards mobile animal care services (e.g trucks or vans) to respond during natural disasters/emergencies and for proactive provision of animal care services in at-risk locations across regional NSW.

Mobile animal care vehicles play an important role in supporting rural and remote communities of NSW through providing direct access to animal care services during natural disasters and through delivery of community outreach programs.

The Mobile Animal Care Services (MACS) 2022 program aims to:

• Support the provision of mobile animal welfare assistance to companion animals and livestock during emergency responses when required, to support the NSW Government coordinated response;
• Support delivery of routine mobile animal care services to companion animals and livestock through regional community outreach;
• Promote positive animal welfare outcomes.

The MACS 2022 program is delivered by the NSW Department of Primary Industries and is funded as part of the 2022-2023 State Budget.
