About Us
The Professional Snake Catchers Association - NSW (PSCANSW) was established in 2025 to represent and support licensed snake catchers across New South Wales. Formed by industry professionals, the association exists to strengthen the snake catching industry through collaboration, advocacy, and high professional standards.
Our primary focus is to support insured and compliant snake catchers, helping to promote best practice in safety, animal welfare, and ethical conduct. We aim to streamline industry processes, provide clear guidance, and act as a unified voice when engaging with government agencies, councils, emergency services, and the wider community.
PSCANSW is committed to professionalism, ongoing education, and practical experience in the field. Through workshops, training opportunities, networking, and shared resources, we support our members to operate safely, responsibly, and sustainably.
As a growing association, we are dedicated to raising awareness of the vital role snake catchers play in protecting both the public and native wildlife across NSW, while helping to shape a strong, respected, and well-regulated industry into the future.
