We are urgently seeking a shelter for the soft release of three wombats (each will weigh 10-12kg for a spring release).

As well as this, after our little Cosi, Onyx, and Ned find a suitable spot, we have made the tough decision to no longer be available to take on wombat care for the forseeable future.

This has been an incredibly hard and heartbreaking decision for us to make, but without a secure spot for us to release, taking more wombats under our care would not be prioritizing their wellfare. We will be exploring permanent options as caring for these wombats are my passion.

Please, if you are a shelter and can assist, don't hesitate to contact us to make arrangements for our little wisdom for their smooth transition back into nature.

We will still remain available for care of reptiles (except snakes), birds, and echidna's, as well as rescues and delegation of wildlife to local shelters for rehabilitation.

Thank you for your ongoing support as well as your understanding during this challenging time.

New dates and locations for Wildlife Victoria's Basic Rescue and Transport training have now been released with sessions running from May to October in both regional and metro locations across Victoria.

Alongside in-person training we've launched an online, standalone transporter training module. This is a great way to commence your journey into wildlife rescue with your role limited to transporting native animals.

If you see a deceased kangaroo, please stop to see if it is a female and check the pouch.

RIP George
He always gave me great advice and was always a pleasure to talk to. I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a great man and a great man for our local swans.

Fruitbat Rescue this morning thank you, Catherine for coming to the Rescue .
Unfortunately fruit bats can’t see Barbwire fence, so the pink tape along the top of the barbwire Fence makes it stand out for the fruit bats and any other wildlife, so they don’t fly into it. Great idea for farmers to avoid fruitbats and other wildlife getting caught up in our fences.
