About Us

Farm Transparency Project (FTP), formerly Aussie Farms, is a non-profit animal protection charity, dedicated to ending commercialised animal abuse and exploitation in Australian animal-use facilities by increasing industry transparency and educating the public about modern farming and slaughtering practices.

Established as Aussie Farms in 2014 with the release of world-first footage of the carbon dioxide gas chambers used in pig slaughterhouses, we’ve since produced two well-known documentaries – Lucent (2014) and Dominion (2018) – and have made national and international headlines with the release of our Farm Transparency Map and coordinated actions across the country for the Dominion anniversary.

Why FTP?

When you join FTP, you join a team of diverse and passionate people who are driven by compassion for animals and commitment to a set of core values emphasising kindness and decency.

Our team is expanding, and the support of our work is growing, with 2021 set to be our biggest year yet – it’s an exciting time to join us!
