The Animal Defenders Office (ADO) is an non profit community legal centre that specialises in animal law. Our mission is to use the law to protect animals, which includes:
- Assisting individuals and groups to secure animal interests through existing legal mechanisms;
- Increasing public awareness of animal protection matters; and
- Working to advance animal interests through law reform.
The ADO has been in operation since December 2013, and has a mandate to consider both local and national animal protection issues. Further information about the ADO can be found at
