OUR NATIVE ANIMALS NEED YOUR HELP
Volunteering for our native wildlife can be very rewarding and interesting. Even just becoming a member helps strengthen the club and assists our wildlife enormously. There are many different ways you can help. Support and training is provided for all positions:
HOTLINE OPERATORS
Our hotline operators take calls from the public and organise a rescuer/carer for the animal needing help. The hotline is transferred to your mobile number and we use a messenger chat group as a tool for co-ordinating rescues. Even if you are only able to help for half a day the assistance would be greatly appreciated.
RESCUERS
Our rescuers pick up animals and transport them to a carer or vet. The FRW hotline takes calls over a large area and we are always looking for new volunteers in all areas. A rescue may only take half an hour to an hour of your time but a quick response can save the animal's life.
CARERS
Carer members are vital and always needed. All new carers will receive training and support to provide suitable care to various species. Whilst baby animals can be time-consuming, many adults (especially birds), may only take a short amount of time to care for each day. FRW has equipment available for carers use such as cages. We offer 50% reimbursement on the cost of foods for animals in care* and 100% reimbursement on vet bills* *(conditions apply).
FUNDRAISING AND MARKETING
We always need a hand with fundraising and getting the word out there. Your skills would be greatly appreciated. If you're handy on a barbie and love to chat to people then we could use some help at our sausage sizzle fundraisers, they not only feed the hoards but help get the word out about wildlife rescue.
CONSTRUCTION
We would love a hand with construction of aviaries, fencing, maintenance. If you can wield a hammer, we'd love to hear from you!
SPEAKERS FOR SCHOOLS OR EVENTS
We believe it is incredibly important to teach children to respect and care for our wildlife. We run schools programs to educate children about responsible pet ownership and protection of our native animals and birds. If you have presentation skills and enjoy speaking to children and groups, we'd love to speak to you!
ADMIN OR NEWSLETTER WRITING
If you have office skills, or GRANT WRITING SKILLS, or enjoy writing newsletters your skills would be appreciated.
SEWING
Our birds and animals feel most secure in cosy pouches. We always need a hand with making new ones.
BECOME A RELEASE SITE
We are desperate for safe and suitable habitat to release our recovered wildlife. If you would like to become a site for release, and have a property with the following criteria, please contact us: Away from a busy road; Has clean water supply; Adequate tree cover for safety and Safe from uncontrolled pets, feral animals and dingos.
DONATE
All monetary donations over $2 to the FRW Public Fund are tax deductible and very much appreciated.
Items needed: cages, aviaries, material for aviaries, first aid supplies, stationary, animal food, towels, pillowcases, star pickets, fencing wire (not barbed wire), shade cloth and baby baths.
JOIN UP
Caring for our amazing wildlife wildlife is a challenging and rewarding experience! You decide on the level of activity and style of involvement you are comfortable with. If you have pets and children there are some considerations: Wildlife in care needs to be kept away from people (including unnecessary contact with carers) and pets to minimise stress on the animals. They need to know how to find their own food and they need to instinctively flee from humans and pets to ensure their safety.
