We have two funding streams. One is for small amounts under $250, which allows you to cover an initial consultation fee for a pet owner that has no money. There are no conditions on this, but we do ask you to get a picture of the pet and fill out the application form here. For emergency clinics, up to $500 can be reimbursed for care after 9pm and before 7am and up to $300 for Walk in Clinic for Animals.
We can also assist with up to $1500 for pet owners that are declined VetPay. This is assessed by our team after you fill out the form here. We will get back to you within 1-3 hours with an answer. If you are not sure if a pet owner can be assisted by the charity or what other organisations can help, please read our FAQ's. Please note that applications for assistance can't be made for treatments that have already been completed.
If your patient needs dental care, please treat any concurrent diseases, perform blood tests if required and then fill out the referral form for dentistry at the RSPCA here.
ACT Pet Crisis Support is there to provide one-off assistance, to help pets and their owners when no one else can. The aim is to avoid economic euthanasia for pet owners who love their pets and don't want to lose them, but are faced with a medical emergency that they cannot afford or get finance for. We do not cover routine health needs such as desexing, parasite control and vaccination. More information for vet clinics can be found on our FAQ page.

- Is this condition something the pet owner is unable to save up for?

- Have they exhausted other options such as borrowing from friends/family?
