About us

Understanding Animal Research Oceania is an Australian non-profit organisation that explains why animals are used in medical and scientific research. We support greater understanding of how and why animals are used in medical, veterinary, scientific and environmental research in the Oceania region.

We are primarily funded by our member organisations, and seek to help everyone understand how society benefits from the humane use of animals in research. We also value donations (no matter how large or small) which help us to create resouces, provide advice and achieve our aims. Please click here to donate.

We provide verifiable information you can trust, and ensure that the information provided by Understanding Animal Research Oceania is based on thorough research, and grounded in understanding of historical and scientific fact.
