WELCOME
Welcome to the official website for the Wildlife Rescuers.
The Wildlife Rescuers are a group of unpaid volunteers who are members of Wildlife Victoria and specialise in the rescue and rehabilitation of native Australian wildlife in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.
We are active rescuers, rescuing & caring for various wildlife on a near day to day basis, including eastern grey kangaroos, possums, wombats, bats and various species of birds.
Our role is one of rescuing injured, sick and orphaned wildlife and where possible releasing healthy animals back into the wild. We also engage in public education via presentations, the media and we conduct information and training sessions.
We encourage you to browse through this site and become involved with wildlife in the northern suburbs. We advise that the content on this website may distress some readers. Unfortunately this is the reality on what is really happening to Victoria's wildlife and what our volunteers face on a regular basis.
***NEW TRAINING SESSIONS AND DATES***
We have two new training sessions up on our Training Page - both will be conducted by Dr Anne Fowler in Greenvale - possums in late May and birds in late August. Check out the Training Page for more information and register as soon as possible.
Narelle Smith is also planning on holding a Basic Rescue and Transport session as well as an Advanced - kangaroos, wallabies and wombats - session in the very near future. Again, check out the Training Page for more information and register. We haven't settled on a date or venue as yet, but will shortly.
Join us on our newly created facebook page and share stories and photographs of all things wildlife.
