WAWRC is a not-for-profit organisation which was established in 2006 to run the National Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference in 2007 with the subsequent aim of acting as a representative and support body for wildlife rehabilitators and wildlife rehabilitation in Western Australia. |
| We are based in Perth with members from all over WA and an elected committee made
up of representatives from around the State.
WAWRC will not duplicate those services already being provided by metropolitan, regional and specialist groups. Rather, WAWRC's role is to support those groups if needed. WAWRC does not wish to compete with its members for hard-to-come-by funding and will aim for financial independence to support its minimal running costs. In common with our membership, WAWRC is run by volunteers. As WAWRC continues to develop, its objectives are becoming much more defined as a result of our growing understanding of the role we can play in supporting wildlife rehabilitators. These objectives may, in the future, change again as both WAWRC and wildlife rehabilitation in WA continues to grow and develop. |
Currently, our aims are:
- As the peak body, to work for and to support wildlife rehabilitators in Western Australia in pursuit of the best outcomes for native fauna by always striving to improve standards, disseminate knowledge and adopting best-practice trends in the field of wildlife rehabilitation.
- To engage wildlife rehabilitators and the West Australian community in an inclusive partnership to create a united and committed force for the benefit of native fauna.

If you're in Western Australia and you've found injured wildlife please call the 7 Day Wildcare Helpline on 9474 9055. The wildlife volunteers manning this phone will be able to put you in touch with the registered wildlife rehabilitator nearest to you, wherever you are in Western Australia. If you are not in Western Australia, please contact the agency responsible for wildlife in your State - (See our Links page for information about rehabilitators in other states). In the meantime please confine the animal safely and keep it warm (but do not provide supplemental heat) in a dark, quiet place until you can get it to help. Please do not feed the animal or give it water as this will delay treatment and may compromise the animal's outcome. |
