For all wildlife emergencies in Gold Coast, Logan, Scenic Rim and Brisbane please call our Volunteer Hotline on 07 5527 2444 (available 24/7).
If our Hotline is unmanned, please select the appropriate extension to be transferred to someone that can assist with your enquiry.
Please do not email reports of sick and injured wildlife as our emails are not monitored continually.
LOCAL VET CLINICS will accept sick and injured general wildlife free of charge.
Basic information on how to safely contain most small animals can be found HERE.
Please do not attempt to handle snakes, bats, koalas or adult kangaroos/wallabies as they can cause serious injury. Seek advice from Wildcare or your local wildlife rescue group (below).
