Animals Australia (AA) and Humane Research Australia (HRA) announce an annual project funding program in memory of Helen Marston, HRA’s former CEO and a lifelong campaigner for animals. Helen came to be an authority on the complex issue of animal research whilst representing AA and HRA during her career in animal protection. Her commitment to an end to animal experimentation was, and continues to be, an inspiration to advocates across Australia. We envisage Helen’s influence to be perpetual, as will this annual project funding.
To build on Helen’s achievements, we invite applicants to apply for 2022 project funding.
Project Summary
The successful candidate will evaluate the current Australian legislative framework surrounding the use of animals in research and education. This analysis will form the basis of recommendations for reform. Once opportunities and areas for reform are identified, the applicant will be tasked with developing a toolkit of educative resources to assist HRA in legislative campaigns and lobbying. The resources will be targeted primarily at politicians and decision-makers.
