Our History

ABOUT US NOW

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue Queensland Inc (CKCSRQ) is one of Australias few smaller incorporated rescue groups. This means that our operation is conducted under Government supervision and is monitored via Annual Reports to the Office of Fair Trading Qld (OFT), and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). The association also operates under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001.

Since it started in 1997, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue Queensland has always been operated by volunteers, with many covering expenses with their own funds. Following recognition as a charity by the ATO and ACNC, this is no longer necessary due to the generosity of our community. At no time now or in the future is it intended for any member to receive payment for their services to the association. It is truly a labour of love rewarded by Cavalier kisses and wagging tails.

The current membership is limited to 7 and all are members of the Committee. At each Annual General Meeting, all positions are declared vacant and the new committee for the following year is selected from nominations received from Members and Friends of the Association. Our Friends group is made up from supporters and volunteers. Learn how to become a Friend.
