Ashleigh Barty spent the end of her 2019 not on the court but with animals at the RSPCA Wacol.

Barty, the current World No.1 took some time out to visit the hospital's patients who have been affected by bushfires.

She has previously donated heavily to the cause and has previously visited this specific centre on the way home from the WTA Finals in November.

The Australian called the work they do incredible and said from her perspective it is just good to come down and support.

“Being an ambassador for the RSPCA is something very close to my heart. In my off season it was one of the first things Gary and I did was come down here and visit the animals and with all the bushfires going on around the country it’s been totally devastating for all the people, but also for all the animals.”

“I think the work the RSPCA do in trying to help as many animals as possible is incredible. It’s just been nice to come back down and see how they’ve gone over the last 5-6 weeks while I’ve been training.”
