About the Vegan Society NSW

Patron: Lee Rhiannon MLC

The Vegan Society NSW is a community-based, non-profit organisation in New South Wales, Australia. It was begun in 1981 by Myer Samra and Bill Westerman and incorporated in 1998 by David Horton.

Its members are people who care about human health, animal welfare and the environment. Our aim is to promote the many benefits of veganism and provide quality service, support and up-to-date information to vegans and the general community.

Aims and Objectives of the Vegan Society NSW

To encourage the research, study and use of alternatives to all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
To further the knowledge of, education and interest in, sound nutrition and in vegan methods of agriculture and food production as a means of increasing the potential of the earth, to the physical, economic and moral benefit of all living beings.
To provide a means of social contact and exchange of information among members and friends.
