At Jetpets, we’re incredibly proud to have participated in the recent Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA) Conference, held in the vibrant and wildlife-rich city of Darwin. This annual event brings together professionals, advocates, and organisations from across New Zealand and Australia who share a deep commitment to animal welfare, conservation, and education.
This year was particularly special for us, as our National Corporate Services Manager, Sally Graham, had the honour of presenting at the conference. Sally’s involvement was a testament to Jetpets’ long-standing relationship with the zoo and aquarium community, and our shared mission to ensure the safe and ethical transport of animals, both domestic and exotic.
Supporting a Passionate Community
We consider it a great privilege to work alongside the dedicated individuals and organisations in the zoo and aquarium community. Every year, we’re inspired by the passionate work being done—from species conservation projects to breeding programs, educational outreach, and habitat preservation.
At Jetpets, our role in this ecosystem is to ensure that animals are transported with the highest levels of care, safety, and comfort. Whether it’s helping to relocate a rare species as part of a conservation effort, or supporting routine transfers between facilities for health or breeding reasons, we treat every journey with the utmost responsibility.
Our Commitment to Animal Welfare
Animal welfare isn’t just a part of what we do—it’s at the heart of our operations. We partner with leading veterinarians, animal handlers, and welfare experts to develop travel protocols that reduce stress and ensure the well-being of each animal during transit.
Looking Ahead
Being part of the ZAA Conference in Darwin was not only an opportunity to share insights but also to learn from the inspiring work being done throughout our Trans -Tasman region. The connections and collaborations formed at events like this help push the boundaries of what’s possible in animal care and conservation.
We extend our thanks to the ZAA and the wider zoo and aquarium community for their continued trust and partnership. We look forward to working together for many years to come, championing animal welfare and making a positive impact—one journey at a time.
