Voiceless is an Australian non-profit animal protection organisation focused on raising awareness of institutionalised animal cruelty, particularly in factory farming and the kangaroo industry. Founded in 2004 by Brian Sherman AM and his daughter Ondine Sherman, the organisation employs education, research, and legal advocacy to advance systemic change for animals[4].
History
Voiceless emerged after the founders attended an animal rights conference in the United States, which exposed them to the scale of suffering in industrialised animal agriculture[4]. Brian Sherman, a retired investment manager, and Ondine Sherman, an author and animal advocate, sought to establish a movement addressing animal welfare and rights within Australia’s legal and social frameworks[4].
Mission and Activities
Voiceless aims to foster a world where animals "flourish on their own terms" by challenging anthropocentric systems through grants, public campaigns, and educational resources[2][4]. Key initiatives include:
- Animal Law Advocacy: Supporting legal reforms through submissions, educational programs, and partnerships with law firms and universities[1][4].
- Research and Reporting: Publishing in-depth analyses of industries such as factory farming, backed by scientific expertise[4][2].
- Education: Providing curricula for schools and universities to promote critical thinking about animal ethics[1][4].
- Voiceless Grants Program: Funding projects that drive systemic change for animals globally[2].
Governance
The organisation operates under a structured advisory system, including legal, scientific, and education councils comprising experts in animal law, biology, and ethics[4][2]. It is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)[3].
Impact
Over two decades, Voiceless has influenced public discourse through campaigns, reports such as the Voiceless Animal Cruelty Index (VACI), and collaborations with advocates and policymakers[2][4]. Its work seeks to bridge animal welfare and rights movements, addressing both immediate suffering and long-term legal protections[4].

💔 Last week, we lost one of the world’s greatest voices for animals, people, and the planet — Dr Jane Goodall, a beloved Voiceless Patron and lifelong inspiration to our Co-founder and Managing Director, Ondine Sherman, and to all of us at Voiceless. In her new blog, Ondine reflects on Jane’s compassion, determination, and unwavering hope for a kinder world: “Thank you, Jane, for reminding me, and so many others, to never give up. Even when the world looks dire, and humans appear uncaring and uncompassionate… Our work, our mission, is to continue.” Ondine remembers Jane as “a unique voice: a global advocate for nature, wildlife, and all animals. No hierarchy, no categorisation, no labels.” Read Ondine’s heartfelt tribute to Dr Jane Goodall — a pioneer who showed us that “hope is not passive — it’s about action.” Jane’s life reminds us that every act of kindness matters — and that hope, when turned into action, can change the world. 👉 Read the full blog: https://voiceless.org.au/my-three-favourite-things-about-jane/ (fb)
