Welcome to the Wildlife HOSPITAL  

Share the daily veterinary decision-making as our expert team treat sick, injured or orphaned wildlife in need of care.

Join us as we share the stories of patients as they go on their journey from rescue, treatment, recovery and release to the wild. 

Immerse yourself in the daily action of the emergency room, observe surgery and meet recovering patients. Try your hand at a range of amazing interactive activities such as radio-tracking, heart-rate monitoring, or our multimedia touch screens that provide in-depth information about anatomy, nutrition, care, rehabilitation and conservation.

Most of all, be inspired to come and meet our vets and nurses as they go about their daily work at the forefront of wildife care and welfare.  

This year the team at the Australian Wildlife Health Centre along with the Department of Sustainability Wildlife Management Unit have commenced a project to develop a "how to" guide for wildlife rehabilitation in Victoria.

The guidelines will include information on how to rescue, handle, treat, euthanase, house and release injured or sick wildlife.  On completion this will be distributed to Wildlife Shelters, Veterinarians and Wildlife managers to improve the welfare of injured wildlife in care across the state.
