RSPCA Opening Wellcamp Opened “With the building of our new facility, we’ve been able to transition from our old address without having to close our current operations within the region.” said RSPCA CEO Darren Maier. “The official opening of our new Campus was conducted by the Hon Dr John McVeigh MP, Federal Member for Groom.” Darren Maier says, “John McVeigh was very supportive of the work the RSPCA does in Queensland when he was the State Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. He continued to be supportive when he moved into the Federal Arena and for that, all of us at the RSPCA, are very grateful.”

“In 2019, 1,750 animals came through our doors in the Toowoomba region alone. Some of which required care from Animal Ambulance rescues and Inspectorate, cases along with unwanted litters, council animals, surrendered by their owners, and emergency boarding.” Darren Maier says, "We are really excited about the opening of this new Animal Care Centre at Wellcamp which will enable us to better care for the animals in the Toowoomba area.”
“The new RSPCA Toowoomba Animal Care Centre has been a long time coming and will drastically improve the care we can provide for animals in the Toowoomba region. With better resources and a focus on animal welfare, we will be able to house up to 200 animals on site in spacious kennels and condos, with the ability to also care for horses and small livestock.”
