Ways you can help our wildlife

Put 1300 352 923 in your phone so you always have our number handy!

There are many ways to help our wildlife and we get lots of calls each week with concerned Members of Public wanting to help animals in their area. We have collated a list of important information that our Rescue Phone Operators want to share with our community.

If you have any concerns for wildlife in need and you can’t find the answer, please give our rescue team a call 1300 352 923.

Rescue kits will be available to purchase on the day. Please head to Warriors4Wildlife.org to book your spot! #wildliferescue #workshops #volunteer #melbourne #nativewildlife

This Muscovy duck was found displaced at Cranbourne Station right next to South Gippsland Hwy, a lovely lady rang W4W to come and rescue her. She spent the night in care with some food and water and was released the next day to a beautiful private property with other domestic ducks. #duck #rescue #along #nonnative #melbourne
