Below is a list of some of the wildlife rescue contacts in Australia. If you find injured wildlife and it is safe to do so, please put in a box on top of a towel, keep in a warm, quiet, dark place (away from children, domestic pets and other noise stresses) and contact your nearest wildlife rescue group or local vet. Do not try to feed or give water until advised to do so by a registered wildlife rehabilitator.
