Wildlife Vet Nurses - Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary

At Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary we empower, educate and inspire our community to care for wildlife, their habitats and the environment. Last year our rescue service handled more than 18,000 calls for sick, injured and orphaned animals, with many being treated at our Wildlife Hospital.  Our patients include endemic and migratory species, including several listed as endangered and found nowhere else on planet Earth.

To meet the needs of the growing number of animals requiring specialist veterinary treatment, we are expanding our operations through extended operating hours, construction of a state-of-the-art wildlife hospital and rehabilitation centre and through recruitment of additional Veterinary Nurses.
