Animal Ethics in Research and Teaching

We are committed to fostering the ethical, humane, and responsible care and use of animals in scientific research and teaching. Guided by the principles of the Australian Code for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes, this site supports our shared responsibility to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, respect, and animal welfare. Whether you're a researcher, educator, or student, we invite you to explore resources, guidance, and updates that help ensure all animal-based activities are conducted with compassion and accountability.
