Magnetic Island Wildlife Rescue Association
Magnetic Island Wildlife Rescue Association is seeking compassionate volunteers to join our dedicated team caring for orphaned joeys and injured native wildlife.

Every day, their volunteers help feed, nurture, and support animals in need — from tiny possums and wallabies to birds recovering from injury.

If you have a love for our island’s wildlife and want to make a hands‑on difference, they’d be delighted to welcome you. You’ll learn how to prepare feeds, handle young animals safely, and assist with their rehabilitation and release back into the wild.

In addition to animal care, volunteers also help pick up bins containing 10c cans and bottles and sort them for recycling. You’ll be travelling in their car with their trailer during these collection runs.

To participate in these activities, you will need to join their group so you are covered by insurance.

No experience is required — full training will be provided. All you need is a caring heart, a bit of time, and a willingness to help. Every helping hand makes a real difference to the wildlife that depend on us for survival and a second chance at freedom.

Together, you can protect and preserve the unique wildlife that makes Magnetic Island so special.

Celebrating Our Superstars: A Heartfelt Thank You to Eliska, Kate, Kath & Our Incredible Volunteer Team
In the afterglow of MI Care’s hugely successful Super Fun Day Sausage Sizzle Fundraiser, it’s important to pause and recognise the people whose dedication, teamwork, and generosity made the day run so smoothly.

While the community enjoyed the sunshine, music, raffles, and delicious food, a remarkable group of individuals were working tirelessly behind the scenes.

At the heart of this effort were Eliska, our exceptional admin assistant, and our two powerhouse volunteers, Kate Kearns and Kath Munro — three people whose commitment before and during the event helped turn a great idea into a truly memorable community celebration.

Eliska — The Organising Force Behind the Scenes

From coordinating logistics to preparing materials, managing communications, and keeping every detail on track, Eliska was the steady, organised engine driving the event forward. Her professionalism, warmth, and calm approach ensured everything came together seamlessly. The success of the day reflects her outstanding work long before the gates opened.

Kate & Kath — Volunteers Who Go Above and Beyond

Our volunteers Kate Kearns and Kath Munro brought energy, heart, and an unwavering willingness to help wherever needed. Whether setting up stalls, assisting visitors, managing activities, or stepping in at a moment’s notice, they embodied the true spirit of community service. Their reliability and enthusiasm lifted the entire event.

To All of Our Volunteers — Thank You

While these three superstars played key roles, every volunteer contributed to the smooth running of the day. From the early‑morning setup crew to the raffle helpers, the BBQ team, the plant stall supporters, the face painters, the pack‑down champions, and everyone who jumped in with a smile — your efforts made the event shine.

Your teamwork created a welcoming, joyful atmosphere that our community felt from the moment they arrived. MI Care is deeply grateful for the time, energy, and heart each of you gave so generously.

A Community Powered by People

Events like Super Fun Day don’t happen by chance — they happen because people care. Because they show up. Because they give their time to make something special for others.

To Eliska, Kate, Kath, and every volunteer who helped bring this fundraiser to life:
Thank you. You made a real difference, and our community is better for it.

MI Care’s Super Fun Day — A Huge, Heartfelt Success!

What an outstanding and overwhelming success our Super Fun Day Sausage Sizzle Fundraiser turned out to be!

From the first sizzle on the BBQ to the final song from Greg Simpson, the day was filled with laughter, music, and community spirit that truly warmed the heart.

The event drew an incredible crowd — locals, visitors, and families all came together to celebrate and support MI Care’s community programs. The sausages, provided by Butcher to Go, were cooked to perfection by Kath Munro on the Magnetic Island Party Hire BBQ, and the aroma alone was enough to draw people in from down the street!

🎸 Greg Simpson’s live music kept the energy high all day, creating the perfect soundtrack for a day of fun and fundraising.
🎨 Inside, Ken Jones’ Art Class original artwork sale was a standout attraction — guests loved browsing the stunning collection of local scenes and wildlife art.
🌱 The plant sale, face painting, and raffles added even more colour and excitement to the event.

And the raffle? It’s not over yet! 🎟️
The raffle will be drawn next Saturday, May 16 with 16 fantastic prizes up for grabs — including our headline prizes:
1️⃣ Mother’s Day Hamper
2️⃣ Stage Door Theatre Dinner & Show voucher for two
3️⃣ Beautiful original painting by Ken Jones
4️⃣ Gift pack for Dad
…plus many more wonderful surprises donated by generous local businesses.

Every sausage sold, every raffle ticket purchased, and every smile shared helped raise valuable funds to support MI Care’s ongoing programs for the Magnetic Island community. The turnout and generosity were simply overwhelming.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, volunteered, donated, and helped make the day such a joyful success. It was a shining example of what makes our island special — neighbours coming together to celebrate, create, and care.
