ACT Wildlife rescues, rehabilitates and releases injured, sick and orphaned native wildlife.

We are Canberra’s only multi-species wildlife care group in the ACT. We’re a community organisation run by volunteers.

As a nonprofit organisation, we rely on donations from the community to support our work.

Wildlife Friendly Netting – Net Swap

Do you have old unsafe netting in your garden? Did you know it is now banned in the ACT?

Bring your old unsafe netting to ACT Wildlife and we will swap it free of charge for safe netting. The safe netting keeps our wildlife protected from getting caught and injured in the netting.

We plan to hold the first four Net Swaps at our Jerrabomberra wetland offices on : – 
10 am – 12 noon Saturday 20 September 
10 am – 12 noon Saturday 11 October
10 am – 12 noon Saturday 25 October

Recognising Our Volunteers

We’re proud of the incredible work our volunteers do every day. If you see a fellow volunteer lending a hand, showing exceptional kindness, or going the extra mile, we encourage you to nominate them for recognition. Your nomination helps us celebrate the spirit of community that makes our organisation so special. Keep an eye out for those little (or big!) moments of generosity and dedication — every nomination counts towards our annual volunteer awards and means the world to those who give their time so selflessly.

World Animal Day 2025 will help raise the status of animals to improve welfare standards around the globe.

If you are passionate about the environment then you can get involved with us to volunteer either caring for wildlife, planting natives in your garden or putting up possum or nesting boxes.

See our Training Calendar for upcoming courses or donate to help us carry on the work for our precious wildlife. 

Sponsor a Species

The Sponsor a Species initiative allows you make small, monthly donations that will go towards purchasing essential supplies for one of five species in our care.
