National Animal Welfare Accreditation

The CoRLink National Animal Welfare Accreditation Scheme (NAWA) is a landmark initiative to harmonise animal welfare standards across Australia’s livestock supply chain. Designed in consultation with industry and aligned with key legislation, it provides a nationally consistent, outcomes-based framework that strengthens traceability, improves safety, and builds consumer and market confidence in the ethical treatment of animals. By positioning animal welfare as a central pillar of quality assurance and sustainability, NAWA supports producers, transporters, and processors in demonstrating leadership, integrity, and transparency at every stage of livestock production.

ACCREDITATION

The CoRLink Accreditation Scheme is a comprehensive, end-to-end accreditation framework that integrates Chain of Responsibility (CoR), Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), Work Health & Safety (WHS), quality assurance, and environmental compliance. It provides a unified, live Risk Management System and audit-driven pathway to ensure supply chain participants uphold legislative standards, drive continuous improvement, and maintain accountability across safety, regulatory, quality, and sustainability domains.
