New national accreditation scheme sets standard for animal welfare in livestock transport

The CoRLink National Animal Welfare Accreditation Scheme (NAWA) streamlines and harmonises the legislation, codes of practice, and guidelines across all Australian States and Territories, creating a unified national framework for animal welfare compliance.

Major livestock transporters have already signed on for the program, which was developed in consultation with regulatory bodies, animal welfare groups, major transport operators, industry leaders and associations.
