How can you help?

As a not for profit volunteer group we rely on the kindness of our community. There are several ways you can help Gladstone and District Wildlife Carers rehabilitate injured and orphaned native wildlife.

Contact us to help with cages, blankets, towels, material to make possum and roo pouches, or timber/marine ply to make bird and possum boxes, or you could donate cash. Just contact us. All help is greatly appreciated.

Have on hand the following: Our care line number: 0427106803

Provide a sturdy dish of water for wildlife in your neighbourhood, please ensure the water source is away from domesticated animals and fresh every day.

If you come across a native animal in need of help,

the RSPCA call line 1300ANIMAL (1300 264 625 ) reaches a network of carers across QLD . If you see an animal in distress, 1300ANIMAL is your go to number . Locally you can call the Gladstone Wildlife Care line direct on 0427106803.

Some handy household items to have ready are a pillow case, collapsible boxes, towels and blankets. Read more on our Animal Emergency page.

Later on, plant a native or two! We have access to such great resources in our community, so go for a walk through Toondoon Botanical Gardens and find a range of plants to suit your backyard.

A word of thanks

to Long Grass Systems who supply us with their excellent WildMan – Wildlife Management System software to help us keep our records.
