About Wildlife Victoria
Wildlife Victoria is a not-for-profit charity that has provided Victoria with a statewide wildlife emergency response service since 1989.
Wildlife Victoria is experiencing a consistent year-on-year increase in demand for services with the primary demand drivers – climate change, habitat destruction and urbanisation – all impacting the State’s wildlife adversely. Public concern for wildlife and biodiversity has been amplified since the 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires and the Victorian public is demanding action from all levels of government to address the issue.
In addition to the Emergency Response Service, Wildlife Victoria helps wildlife by providing people with the knowledge and skills they need for peaceful and positive co-existence with wildlife, and by facilitating positive community attitudes toward wildlife.
