Our mission

We provide expert veterinary care and rehabilitation to sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife, aiming to release them back into their natural habitats.

Our goals are to alleviate suffering, promote improved standards of care, enhance our understanding of wildlife health threats, and collaborate closely with our community to address these issues.

  • We believe wild animals in need should have ready access to high quality veterinary care supported by well resourced rehabilitators 
  • Every patient, regardless of species, is treated as an individual, with compassion, dignity and respect
  • We adhere to the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council Code of Ethics and the NSW Codes of Practice for Injured, Sick and Orphaned Protected Fauna 

How we can help

We provide continuing care to all of our patients - either by consultation or in the case of an emergency we provide immediate care without appointment.

We offer veterinary care by consultation for routine and follow-up care and wildlife emergency services for acute cases during opening hours.
