Research Animal Rehoming Grant Program - Closed

The $2.45 million Research Animals Rehoming Grant (the Program) is part of the NSW Government’s continuing commitment to protect the welfare of animals used in research through a coordinated and cooperative approach to achieve an appropriate outcome for animals at the end of their use in research.

The Program is a targeted, competitive single round grant, established to enhance positive animal welfare outcomes by supporting projects that seek to maximise the number of animals successfully rehomed at the conclusion of their use in research.

The Program is aimed at eligible animal rehoming organisations to assist them in delivering projects that align with the Program objectives.
