Injured & Orphaned Animals
A number of our members have formed groups dedicated to caring for and releasing injured and orphaned animals. There are also many members who undertake this voluntary work independently. All carers work from home and dedicate an enormous amount of time and energy to the task. WILDCARE members should apply to be authorised by WILDCARE to undertake this activity as a WILDCARE member, meaning that they are eligible to submit a claim to the WILDCARE's insurer if they sustain an injury as a direct result of caring for their animals. WILDCARE carers do not care for or rehabilitate, or remove snakes.
Check out our Groups page for more information and contact details.
The Request for Individual Authorisation Form is available to members on-line on the Forms page.
WILDCARE authroisation for your volunteer work does not negate the need to have the necessary permits and permissions to keep Tasmanian wildlife. Contact the Biodiversity Conservation Branch of DPIW for more information Phone 6233 6556.
Have you ever wanted to spend a few months alone on an island, spend time getting to know a piece of wilderness better, take part in protecting rare wildlife in the wild, feel the joy of caring for and releasing a wild animal or bird or head to the back country and do some real work?
WILDCARE Inc, in cooperation with our government partners, undertakes a number of large scale, ongoing, annual projects and programs. Information about these programs can be found below. Special projects and programs may require specialist skills and often ask for extended commitments, but they are some of the most intriguing and exciting volunteer projects around.
See program contact details above for more information.
