Volunteer

Volunteering is an important aspect of our conservation work

Become a Volunteer at Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary

Every year, hundreds of thousands of native animals are injured, orphaned, or fall ill—often due to interactions with people or pets. At Trowunna, we provide food, emergency relief, and care for wildlife in need.

If you have a passion for wildlife, consider joining our volunteer program. Trowunna has welcomed volunteers from across Australia and around the world, all dedicating their time to the care and maintenance of the Sanctuary and its animals. Every volunteer gains:

• Greater knowledge and understanding of wildlife conservation

• A more developed skill set in wildlife care

• A rewarding and enriching experience

Volunteers are vital to our mission. Whether learning hands-on animal care skills, assisting with rescue and rehabilitation, or supporting administration and fundraising, your contribution makes a real difference. You can also meet like-minded people and form lasting connections while helping wildlife.

Most wildlife care is carried out by unpaid volunteers, and while the demand for support continues to grow, volunteer numbers often fall short. Training is provided for those who wish to participate in hands-on care, and there are always opportunities to help behind the scenes. By volunteering, you help free up carers to focus on the rescue and rehabilitation of native animals.
