What does it cost
RSPCA Certified is not-for-profit and is not funded by donations to the RSPCA.
The costs of running the Program, including the high costs associated with farm and abattoir assessments, the RSPCA Certification Body overseeing these assessments, traceability checks, marketing and development are covered by licensing fees.
Licensing fees are paid by brands that source from RSPCA Certified Producers and market their product with the RSPCA Certified brand. The fee is calculated with consideration of how much it costs for their suppliers to be assessed and certified. Licensing fees remain solely within the program and are used to implement our work, promote the program and its participants and most importantly, improve the lives of Australia’s farmed animals.
