About Happy Paws Happy Hearts

At Happy Paws Happy Hearts (HPHH), we don’t just come to work. We come to make a difference in the lives of people and animals. We’re a national not-for-profit connecting socially isolated Australians with animals through programs that build confidence, connection and hope for the future.

From Darwin to Tasmania - the ears to the tail of Australia - we support participants with disability and neurodiversity, veterans and first responders, and young people at risk. Working in partnership with animal rescue shelters and training centres such as the RSPCA, participants gain structured, hands-on experience training, socialising and caring for rescue animals on their journey to adoption and assistance dogs in training. Along the way, they grow independence, social connection and the practical skills to step into, or return to, a vocational pathway.

We offer a supportive workplace where everyone is valued for the difference they make. At HPHH, every interaction creates impact, for hearts and paws alike.
