please call our 24/7 Hotline 0432 300 033
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.
Become a Wildlife Carer
If you are interested in caring for wildlife or becoming a volunteer, our training for all our species can be found on the Training Calendar. We also offer training to assist with answering phone calls and rescuing/transporting wildlife. Your involvement can be the most rewarding thing you’ll ever do.
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.
Rally to Save Our Western Edge.
The Conservation Council ACT Region is hosting a rally calling for the protection of Canberra’s Western Edge from urban sprawl development, an area of land home to much wildlife that would be left homeless if development is to go ahead.
ACT Wildlife is not involved in organising or hosting this event and has not contributed to its arrangements. Whilst ACT Wildlife encourages participation, attendance is entirely at the discretion of each individual.
