The purpose of the Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes (the Code) is to promote the ethical, humane and responsible care and use of animals used for scientific purposes. It provides guidance for investigators, institutions, animals ethics committees, animal carers and all those involved in the care and use of animals for scientific purposes. Further information about the background and purpose of the Code is also available.

The Australian Code (endorsed and authorised by the NHMRC, ARC, CSIRO and UA) is the national animal ethics standard for Australia.  It is a useful reference for researchers and Animal Ethics Committees.
