Voiceless Co-founder and Director Brian Sherman talking about Voiceless's mission.

Mission

Voiceless promotes respect and compassion for animals; increases awareness of the conditions in which they live; and takes action to protect animals from suffering.

Voiceless:

a) awards grants to organisations that share our vision.
b) educates Australians and in particular young Australians.
c) works to modify or create legislation and policies to protect animals.

Voiceless's legal arm works to:

improve legal protection for animals.
monitor and enforce laws by increasing the accountability of government departments and other agencies responsible for enforcing animal protection laws; and
facilitate the development of animal law by educating the community and the legal profession about legal issues that relate to animals and supporting cases that seek to establish important legal protections for animals.
