They are kept in barren cages, subjected to invasive and distressing procedures, and almost always killed after use. Years of isolation, chronic stress and injury cause extreme physical and psychological trauma.
These are sentient, intelligent beings who experience complex emotions, social bonds and self‑awareness. Treating them this way is a profound moral failure.
Despite strong public concern and clear scientific evidence, Australia’s animal research system is still governed by outdated, self‑regulated laws. Modern, human‑relevant scientific methods are advancing rapidly and receiving increased government focus and funding worldwide, and many countries are already implementing non‑animal models at scale. Australia risks falling behind global progress, and without independent oversight or modernised legislation, primate suffering continues unchecked.
Animal-Free Science Advocacy (AFSA) is Australia's only organisation dedicated exclusively to protecting animals in research. We are a registered charity providing vital advocacy, investigations and policy work to end primate experimentation and replace it with ethical, human-relevant alternatives. We also campaign for retirement options that would finally give survivors of experimentation the safety and dignity they deserve.
Your voice can help shape political change. Send an email to policymakers calling for an end to primate experimentation and for investment in modern, human‑relevant scientific methods.
Your contribution supports AFSA’s work to end primate experimentation. When you donate, you help us conduct investigations, push for stronger laws and promote modern, human‑relevant science.
Please donate today to help create lasting change for primates in Australia.
Together, we can replace primate experimentation with science that is both compassionate and effective, and create a kinder future for all.
