TAWC Crisis Awareness Network
The COVID-19 Animal Welfare Response Reference Group (COVAWRRG) was established in March 2020 and involved more than 34 organisations. The original purpose of the group was for stakeholders from government, industry, and the community to share critical sector updates on emerging COVID-19-related challenges to animal welfare, and to coordinate responses. Since then, the network has been renamed to TAWC Crisis Awareness Network, which deals with any crisis that may impact animal welfare. The COVAWRRG met weekly during the early stages of the pandemic, and later fortnightly, and TAWC chaired the meetings.
