As an innovator, capacity builder and ideas-generator, Voiceless plays a leading role in the development of a cutting edge social justice movement, animal protection. 
With a highly professional and well-educated team, Voiceless brings together like-minded compassionate Australians from the legal, academic, non-profit and education sectors to form strong and effective networks.

Voiceless believes in the provision of quality information, analysis and resources to inspire debate and discussion and to empower individuals and organisations to generate positive social change.

Voiceless is a non profit Australian organisation established in May 2004 by father and daughter team Brian and Ondine Sherman. 

To build and fortify the animal protection movement, Voiceless:

• gives grants to key projects which create the groundswell for social change;
  
• cultivates the animal law community through the provision of leadership, educational opportunities and resources; and
  
• raises awareness of animal protection issues within the education system in order to strengthen democratic skills, promote critical thinking and encourage advocacy amongst students.
