Give native wildlife a fighting chance this tax time.
A gift today helps ensure that care is there when it is needed most.
Around 15,000 wildlife patients every year. 276 species. Every one of them matters.
Every day, sick, injured and orphaned wildlife arrive at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital in desperate need of care.
The hospital’s 150 volunteers and 15 paid experts work each day to treat, rehabilitate and release native Australian wildlife – from endangered Koalas to orphaned Baby Birds. But while the hospital receives some government funding for operations, it doesn’t come close to covering the full cost of running one of the busiest wildlife hospitals in the world.
It costs an average of $120 to provide urgent, expert care for one wildlife patient.
It costs and average of $7,000 to care for a critically sick Koala.
Distressed wildlife patients don’t wait for the right time.
They don’t wait for funding cycles.
And they can’t wait until tomorrow.
Will you give wildlife patients
a fighting chance at life this tax time?
Every patient has a story
This is Mell Laluca – a precious 7-year-old Koala who was hit by a car in Burleigh Heads. The accident sadly claimed the life of the little joey in her pouch.
The Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Vet Team has been working around the clock to save Mell Laluca’s life, and is hopeful that after spending some time in the hospital’s Koala rehab, she’ll be ready to return to the wild.
Stories like Mell Laluca’s are all too common, but there is something you can do right now to ensure every patient receives care when it is needed most.
