Including a gift in your Will to AMRRIC can help ensure healthy animals, healthy proud communities.
“We all love our pets. If they are hurt, we hurt too”
says Debra who works at a local school
Imagine your pet is unwell or is regularly pregnant, it’s 1000km to the nearest vet and the local store has no medicine or preventative treatments available. This is the heart-breaking reality for many people in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Remembering AMRRIC in your Will is a practical and lasting way to show how much you value the companionship of dogs and cats and the positive effect they have on the lives of people, families and communities. It also recognises the challenges of access to regular and affordable veterinary services
and animal care products, faced by many remote Indigenous communities by virtue of their remoteness and the complexity of socio-economic disadvantage.
The decision to leave a gift in your Will means that the work that is important to you, will live on and positively impact communities into the future. By making this very important decision, you’ll be helping to ensure that companion animals in rural and remote Indigenous communities continue to receive the appropriate veterinary care they deserve, and that pet owners are empowered with knowledge in animal care and good animal management, well into the future.

Provide a consistent companion animal management service for isolated communities
To support more communities, communities that are currently receiving no support
Fund much needed research, to increase knowledge, drive improved legislative frameworks, and future investments
Fund and equip a remote veterinary clinic vehicle
Provide a permanent base for AMRRIC operations

HOW TO LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILL TO AMRRIC
Thank you so much for your interest in leaving a gift to AMRRIC in your Will. We recognise that this is a very exceptional gift and we are most grateful.
Including a charity in your Will is a very personal decision that needs careful consideration. We appreciate that your family and loved ones should always come first and believe that it’s important that you speak with them about your intentions and why leaving a gift to AMRRIC is important to you. Having your family and executor aware of your wishes will help ensure they are carried out in the way you would like.
To keep things as simple as possible, we have provided some suggested wording. But we do recommend that you receive independent legal advice from a solicitor or public trustee.
Suggested Wording for Your Will
Suggested wording you may wish to consider using to remember AMRRIC in you Will:
“I give to Animal Management in Rural and Remote Communities Ltd, (ABN 71 173 062 319), of GPO Box 4829, Darwin, Larrakia Country, NT 0801
____ % of my estate, or the residue of my estate, or ____% of the residue of my estate, or the sum of $_______ , or ________ (insert specific property or shares) to be used for its general purposes, and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other duly authorised officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my Executors.”
If you already have a Will but would like to leave a gift to AMRRIC, you can do so by making a simple addition to your existing Will. This is called a codicil. You can indicate the charitable gift you’d like to leave, and you will need to have your codicil, as a legal document, signed and witnessed by two independent people.
