Bequests.

A legacy of kindness and compassion that echoes beyond your lifetime.

Many of our incredible supporters choose to extend a lifetime commitment to all animals by including Animals Australia in their Will.

Every single day, millions of animals around the world endure suffering caused by cruel industry practices and outdated ways of thinking. We know this is not the future we want for animals, nor what they deserve. We know this is not sustainable. Together, we can do more.

When you share your resolve to stand up for the unseen, the unheard, and the forgotten through a gift in your Will, you join a dedicated community of caring people who believe we can create a kinder future for all. That is something you can be proud of.

The choice to make a bequest is a very personal decision, and one that we would be honoured to support you through or discuss in detail.

To arrange a confidential conversation or request additional information about the process, please call our friendly team—toll-free—on 1800 888 584 or email bequests@animalsaustralia.org.

How to leave a bequest for animals in your Will.

There are several ways of giving in your Will.

• A residuary bequest is a percentage of your estate – after all your other gifts, taxes and debts have been fulfilled.
• A pecuniary bequest refers to nominating an exact sum of money.
• A specific bequest involves gifting a very specific item, such as life insurance policy, property or house, or other personal effect.

Bequests of any kind are very welcome and deeply appreciated.

In line with our values, we advise you to consult with a solicitor or qualified legal practitioner before making any changes to your Will. The information on this page is not to be taken as legal advice.

If you would like to make a bequest to Animals Australia in your will, we recommend you consider using the following suggested wording (which should be discussed further with your solicitor or estate planner):

Grace Pavone made the empowering decision to leave a gift in Will to Animals Australia in 2013.

“My decision is one I am proud and honoured to have made.”

“Animals Australia work tirelessly to defend and protect voiceless animals of all species and sizes, especially farmed animals.”

“This work is carried out by teams of amazing people, both on the field and behind the scenes, who see the horrors, but have also achieved significant positive change for animals. I am in awe of them.”
