as soon as possible and give the type of animal, its exact location, your contact details and any other relevant information. You can ask for a call number to quote if you would like feedback about your call at a later date.

Always be careful when approaching a native animal. Keep well away from any animal that may be venomous or dangerous, such as a snake, goanna, flying fox or other kind of bat, particularly when injured.

Each year in NSW, tens of thousands of native animals are injured, orphaned or become sick. In the Mid North Coast region alone, over 4,000 animals were rescued in 2010. Many were not.

Wildlife Rescue Inc. is a non-profit, voluntary organisation dedicated to the rescue of native animals. Our emergency hotline is staffed 24 hours/day, 7 days/week by trained phone operators who take calls from the public and organise rescues by experienced rescuers.

Wildlife Rescue Inc. operates a call centre which currently services the Mid North Coast area of NSW, free of charge. This service can be made available to other NSW organizations involved in native animal rescues. To enquire, please contact us by email.
