Animal Careers (high school students up to 17 years)

Are you a teenager interested in a career working with animals? Our Animal Career Day is the perfect opportunity for you to learn about the different career options available in the animal industry.

Our program offers a unique opportunity to meet and interact with RSPCA NSW professionals including an Inspector, Animal Attendant, Animal Trainer, Veterinarian and Vet Nurse. You’ll have the chance to learn about their work, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into what it takes to succeed in these fields.

In addition to the workshops and activities, you’ll also have the chance to network with other teens who share your passion for animals. Our program is designed to be fun, informative, and inspiring, and we’re confident that you’ll leave with a greater understanding of the animal industry and the career opportunities available to you.
