Far North Queensland Wildlife Rescue


Hello and welcome to our web site. We will be updating information regularly including meeting dates and other important information so make sure that you check back frequently.

Who is Far North Queensland Wildlife Rescue?
Just about anyone! Far North Queensland Wildlife Rescue Association (Incorporated) is a group of volunteers who are dedicated to the preservation of the many species of wildlife found in Tropical North Queensland.
We are people from all walks of life who have a myriad of skills and abilities, yet common goals.

Our Values are:-

  • The welfare of our native animals
  • Our dedicated Wildlife Carers
  • Our Sponsors and Supporters


    • Our Mission is simple:-

  • To be a network of professional Carers committed to rehabilitating wildlife for release
  • The education of people about the value of native fauna and its habitat


    • Our Strategic Goals include:-

  • Provision of training, assistance, support and information about the care, rehabilitation and release of wildlife
  • Encourage education of the community about the conservation of native fauna and its habitats
  • Assume responsibility for the early assessment of sick, injured or orphaned native wildlife
  • Provide appropriate care for native wildlife suitable for rehabilitation
  • Adequately prepare these animals for survival in the wild once they are released.

    How can I help? 

    FNQ Wildlife Rescue is a not for profit volunteer organisation. We rely heavily on the generosity of the public and the support of companies to provide us with all running costs.

    Raising orphaned wildlife is no easy task and most of our volunteers do this at their own cost. However, we need to maintain a Rescue Centre to provide a 24 hour phone coverage service for the public to report injured wildlife.

    There are several ways in which you could help us physically or financially.
    Your assistance in any capacity helps our native wildlife.

  • Become a member - You could become a financial member only, a wildlife carer or rescuer. You could offer assistance with fundraising or assume a role on our Committee.
  • Become a volunteer - Help out at our Rescue Centre (which is staffed by dedicated volunteers) or with our after hours phone service. We always welcome more volunteers so, if you can spare a few hours a week, why not pop into the Centre to see how we run!
  • Donate - FNQ Wildlife Rescue is a registered environmental organisation. Therefore, all donations made within Australia are tax deductible. You can make a donation to FNQ Wildlife Rescue through the PayPal system by simply clicking the "Donate" button at the top of the page.
