Partnering for a future of modern, human‑centred science
Australia is at a turning point. Around the world, governments, regulators and industry leaders are embracing advanced, human‑relevant research methods that deliver more accurate, responsible and scientifically robust outcomes. These approaches also reduce the significant environmental footprint associated with animal‑based research. Australia has an opportunity to be at the forefront.
AFSA is Australia’s only national organisation dedicated exclusively to replacing outdated animal‑based science with modern, kind, environmentally sustainable, evidence‑based and effective alternatives. We work across science, industry and government to remove barriers to non‑animal innovation, strengthen funding pathways, and championing the national shift toward ethical, human-specific research.
Corporate partners play a vital role in this transition. Together, we can reshape Australia’s research landscape so scientific progress is achieved without harming animals.

Our Partnership Principles
AFSA builds partnerships grounded in compassion, respect, integrity, courage, commitment and transparency. We collaborate only with organisations whose values align with our mission and who support the transition toward animal‑free research.
AFSA also welcomes pro bono expertise and in‑kind contributions from organisations aligned with our mission, as these forms of support play an important role in strengthening our work.
We do not accept financial support from companies that pay for or profit from animal testing, or whose scientific practices conflict with our advocacy for non‑animal methods.
Every partnership is built on shared values, clear expectations and a commitment to contributing meaningfully to national change.
