About Us

Australia deserves a progressive, inclusive national vegan organisation that represents all vegans. The Australian Vegan Society is here to inspire, support, and empower individuals who want to align their values with their actions. We are building a sustainable, impactful movement that helps Australians make choices that protect the environment, improve health, and challenge the industrial animal complex.

Veganism is often seen as extreme or unattainable, but we know it can be a simple, everyday choice - one that is kind, achievable, and powerful. With younger generations increasingly searching for ethical and sustainable food options, it’s more important than ever to provide clear, inclusive, and inspiring information about why and how to go vegan. Our mission is to make veganism accessible to everyone, no matter their reason for exploring it.

Our 'Why'

The Australian Vegan Society recognises that while many people care deeply about animals, the environment, and their health, they may still perceive veganism as difficult or out of reach. That’s why we take an inclusive approach, welcoming anyone who is curious about how they can make a difference. Whether someone is looking to reduce their climate impact, improve their health, or take a stand for animals, we provide the trusted, practical information they need to take the next step.

Everything we do is built on a strong foundation of knowledge, experience, and a shared commitment to positive change. We understand that everyone’s journey to veganism is unique, and we’re here to support people in a way that feels welcoming and achievable. Whether someone is just starting to explore veganism or has been part of the movement for years, we provide the resources, community, and advocacy to help them live in harmony with their values, stay informed, and make a meaningful impact.
With the right resources and support, we know that positive change can happen on a large scale. That’s why we’re working to build a well-resourced, future-focused organisation that makes veganism more visible, accessible, and practical for all Australians. By providing clear, welcoming guidance and fostering a strong, engaged community, we can create a ripple effect that benefits animals, people, and the planet.
To maximise the number of people who are able to confidently transition to a vegan lifestyle, we know how important it is to have a trusted source of information that presents the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of going, or being, vegan in an accessible and engaging way. The Australian Vegan Society is that source - a progressive, inclusive organisation working to normalise veganism and create a delicious, healthy, sustainable future for all species.
