During 1997, a group of enthusiasts met several times with a view of establishing a rabbit society that concentrated primarily on promoting rabbits for both showing and as pets.

REBS is an independent body, incorporated in New South Wales.

Objectives of REBS

• Educate and promote rabbits in the public arena.
• Hold regular shows and educational seminars.
• Encourage, maintain and improve the qualities of recognised breeds of rabbits.
• Supply information to all members regarding the hygienic keeping, breeding, and management of rabbits in captivity.
• Publish regular newsletters.
• Supply identification rings for rabbits and keep complete records of sales and transfers of rings/rabbits.
• Adopt and issue standards for approved breeds of rabbits.
• Enforce the rules and regulations of the society, and deal with the
  infringement of these rules accordingly.
• Grant and/or register prefixes for new members.
• Offer championships and other awards to new members.
