The Territory’s Animal Awareness Week is held every year during the school holiday period in June-July.
Animal Awareness Week focuses on the importance of caring for and protecting our animals, including wildlife, through a range of events and activities.
The week has a strong community focus and involves many organisations and businesses that are actively involved in animal welfare, care and conservation.
Activities held during the week help Territorians – young and old – learn more about animals, their behaviour and animal care.
