Centre for Companion Animal Health

The Centre for Companion Animal Health (CCAH) is a world-class research centre, leading the development of scientific and social advances in companion animal health and welfare. Under the leadership of Professor Jacquie Rand, a team of postgraduate students conducts studies to:

Improve the health of companion animals through a better understanding of the cause of disease. Best possible treatments and preventions are developed and disseminated world-wide for the benefit of all pets.
Enrich the lives of aged, disadvantaged and disabled people by understanding and promoting the many benefits within a human-animal bond.
Prevent unwanted and problem pets through improved socialisation, re-training, re-homing, neutering and broad community education.

Founded in 2002, our Centre operates as a non-profit organisation. Like all universities around the world, we look to industry, individuals and our Alumni for investment by way of tax-deductible donations; bequests and sponsorship to help our team of veterinarians, nutritionists, behaviourists and psychologists find answers to ensure a happy and healthy life for our pets and society in general.

Animal Welfare League of Qld

The Animal Welfare League of Queensland Inc. (AWL) is a non-profit, non-government funded, charitable organisation. We rely on community support through donations, fundraising efforts and volunteers. The Gold Coast and surrounding communities should be immensely proud, as it is their support which has enabled the AWL to provide for the thousands of animals in need over the years.

We are continuing this year to not only care for all the unwanted, stray and abandoned animals that come through our doors, but also increase community awareness about how to end the tragedy of pet overpopulation. Our goal is to bring an end to the euthanasia of healthy animals in Australia through education and awareness. Donations, legacies and bequests are greatly needed to assist our goal and are deeply appreciated. It is through the continued support of the community that we will achieve a brighter future for every companion animal in need.

DVD & Booklet: Caring Responsibly for your Cat and Dog
Packed with everything pet owners need do to ensure that every cat and dog will have a lifelong caring and responsible home, these DVDs and accompanying booklets have been put together by a large team of people involved in every facet of the pet industry, including registered breeders, cat and dog clubs, pet shop owners, RSPCA, Australian Veterinary Association, Wildcare, Wildlife Preservation Society and Gold Coast City Council, as well as the Animal Welfare League. With the hope of ending the euthanasia of healthy pets caused by the large numbers of unwanted animals and the lack of homes for them, these DVDs promote caring responsibly for pets, starting with desexing to prevent unwanted litters, and then introducing new furry additions to the household in the best possible way, as well as general care. They are now being distributed to new pet owners through Council Offices, the AWL refuge, pet shops, registered breeders and vets following the launch at the 3rd Annual Gold Coast Pet Expo by Dr Harry Cooper. For people who already have a pet or who are considering a new furry addition in the future and/or would like to see the DVD, they are available for sale at the AWL for just $5, with an additional $2 cost if you require both cat and dog booklets. Please email Joy on joy@awlqld.com.au if you would like to place a large order, or visit the AWL shop if you wish to buy a personal copy.
