Career support and professional development  

We support your growth at RSPCA Victoria and beyond, offering internal and external training, higher duties and secondment opportunities to progress your career development. 

A healthy workplace  

We prioritise health and wellbeing to keep our teams healthy with a range of mental health support programs, including confidential counselling services for employees and volunteers, education programs for you and your family and mental health leave days. 

Family first approach  

We offer 12 weeks of paid parental leave and two weeks of paid partner leave for eligible employees, as well as access to our online platform to support new and working parents and carers. 

Fostering inclusiveness  

We are committed to being an inclusive place to work and volunteer. You can read more about our work in this space on our Diversity and Inclusion page.  

Animals in the office  

To help socialise our shelter animals, the Animals In The Office program sees dogs and cats spend time in our offices across the state.
