Love driving? Love wildlife? We'd LOVE to have you on our Transport Team!

Our volunteer drivers play a vital role in helping injured and rehabilitating native animals travel safely between the hospital, local vets, wildlife carers and, best of all, back to the wild.

Our transport van operates Monday to Friday, 10.00am–3.00pm, and we're looking for more volunteers to join the team.

No two days are the same. One day you might be transporting a patient to a wildlife carer, the next you could be helping release a recovered animal back into its natural habitat.

If you're a confident driver with a few hours to spare and would like to make a real difference for our native wildlife, we'd love to hear from you.

🦜 Bird Flu Update

As a precautionary measure, the Northern Rivers Wildlife Hospital has established a separate triage and isolation facility outside the hospital in the event that Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (bird flu) is detected in local wildlife.

PLEASE NOTE:

• The triage facility is in place but has not yet been activated. It has been established so that we are prepared should the situation change.

• We are following the latest advice and guidelines from DPIRD and the Chief Veterinary Officer and will continue to monitor any new developments.

• As an added precaution, anyone bringing wildlife to the hospital is asked to wait at the front reception door. A staff member will meet you, ask a few questions, and guide you from there before allowing entry into the hospital.

These precautions help us continue caring for our wildlife while protecting our staff, volunteers, carers and the many vulnerable patients already in our care. We will keep our community updated should the situation change.

Thank you for your patience and for everything you do to help our native wildlife. 💚

⚠️ PLEASE BE ADVISED: IT IS STILL BUSINESS AS USUAL AT THE NORTHERN RIVERS WILDLIFE HOSPITAL. THE ISOLATION FACILITY HAS NOT BEEN ACTIVATED, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO CASES OF HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA RECORDED IN THE NORTHERN RIVERS.

Not every wildlife hospital has a view like this 🌿🌳💫

While we enjoy our view every day, it's our patients who benefit from it most.

Our hospital was intentionally built on Crown land in Wollongbar, nestled within the natural environment our patients call home. Recovering in a calm, peaceful setting helps reduce stress, supports rehabilitation and gives our local native wildlife the best possible chance of returning back home 💚

From our team, our patients, and every future patient... thank you 💚

None of this would have been possible without the generosity of our community.

Last chance! Double your donation for wildlife 💚💚

The Northern Rivers is one of the most beautiful and biodiverse regions in Australia. It's a place where native wildlife and people have shared the landscape for generations. But every day, native animals are injured, orphaned and displaced, relying on expert veterinary care to survive.

Every patient in this carousel has a story. A story of resilience, care and hope. Without our hospital, many of these patients would never have been given a second chance.

Today, you can help give many more native animals that same chance.

💚 Every donation made today will be doubled.
💚 All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
