With the cost of living being what it is this could potentially be useful to someone.

Unfortunately not every state currently has a participating clinic but there are different locations around Australia.

I’m also going to piggyback on this to say that even if you’re not homeless but just in financial hardship some pet shops will give you the expired but still usable parasite treatments for your pet if you ask. For free. And possibly also pet food. At least Petstock in Melbourne does.

Please avoid buying flea products for cats from the supermarket as they may be contaminated with or contain pyrethrins which are toxic to cats. Aristopet flea and worm spot ons are the much cheaper generic version of another brand and are recommended if you can’t afford the premium brands. Purina I’m told is not so good.

Also check if there are local pet food pantries.

In Melbourne the Lort Smith gives concession discounts and payment plans. Open Pay is available at other practices.

Pets Of The Homeless is another great resource. (Their aim is to offer enough help for you to keep your pet through tough times so they will NOT take your pet away. In fact they don’t even accept surrenders.)

Hope this helps someone 🤞
