Animal Rights Forum

Saturday 21 & Sunday 22 February 2026

Sydney Masonic Centre, 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney

The Australian Animal Rights Forum is the nation’s premier annual animal protection conference, a platform that has been fostering knowledge, collaboration, and advocacy since its inception in 2009.

This event brings together passionate animal advocates from all corners of the country, uniting in solidarity for an inspiring weekend filled with enriching workshops, thought-provoking discussions, and insightful presentations by influential social change activists and organisations.

Cat Protection is excited to be participating in the Animal Defenders mini expo, find our table in the Banquet Hall and come say hi!

The forum is an opportunity for animal welfare advocates to network and share expertise on how we can work together to improve the lives of animals through recognition and respect for animal sentience. At the forum Cat Protection will raise awareness for the work we do, where each cat is given kindness and respect as an individual, and learn from others about how we can continue to advocate for evidence-based, humane and ethical approaches to the management of cat populations.
