Step Into the World of Wildlife Care

Have you ever thought about becoming a wildlife carer? Now is your chance to turn that curiosity into lifesaving action. Join an engaging and informative Wildlife Carer Introductory Course, where you will learn what it takes to rescue and care for North Queensland’s incredible native animals.

From tiny microbats and birds to majestic flying foxes, possums, macropods, and more, this course will give you a solid understanding of the diverse species that often come into care across the region. Led by experienced species coordinators from North Queensland Wildlife Care Inc, this session offers a realistic and practical introduction to wildlife care. You’ll gain insight into the skills, challenges, rewards, and equipment involved in helping these animals in need.

Whether you are looking to take the first step toward becoming a registered carer or simply want to understand how you can support wildlife in your community, this course is the perfect starting point. Please note that this event is not suitable for children under 12, as some images may be distressing. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

North Queensland is packed full of wildlife, and with increased urbanisation and natural threats, the need for passionate carers has never been greater. Your journey into wildlife rescue could begin right here this Saturday!
