Our Mission is simple:-

To be a network of professional Carers committed to rehabilitating wildlife for release and

the education of people about the value of native fauna and its habitat

Our Strategic Goals include:-

Provision of training, mutual 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 and

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 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 -

Become a member - You could become a financial member only, or a wildlife carer. Wildlife caring is a very fulfilling experience and you can do your bit for our native wildlife.

Donate - FNQ Wildlife Rescue is a registered environmental organisation. As such all donations made within Australia are tax deductible. You can make a donation to FNQ Wildlife Rescue online through the PayPal system by simply clicking the "Donate" button above to the left.

Become a volunteer - Help out at our Rescue Centre (which is staffed by dedicated volunteers) or with our after hours phone service. We are always looking for more help so, if you can spare a few hours a week, why not do your bit to help our wildlife?
