At Ballarat Wildlife Hospital, we are committed to providing comprehensive care and support for native wildlife. Our range of services reflects our dedication to the well-being of our unique fauna and the communities that share their habitats.
We offer timely and compassionate referral veterinary treatment and care for injured, debilitated, or orphaned native wildlife. Working in collaboration with government agencies, local shelters, rescuers, and carers, we ensure that every animal receives the attention it needs to recover and thrive.
Our commitment to education extends beyond our hospital walls. We provide practical training and educational opportunities for university students of veterinary, ecological, and conservation sciences. Through hands-on experience and expert guidance, we empower the next generation of wildlife advocates and professionals.
As the district's catchment hospital, we serve as a central hub for veterinary clinics, wildlife rescuers, rehabilitators, and local council. We offer support and advice to enhance their knowledge and skills in wildlife care and rehabilitation, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our native fauna.
We work closely with government organisations, universities, and other not-for-profit entities on research initiatives focused on conservation, disease surveillance, and one-health research. By sharing knowledge and resources, we strive to advance the collective understanding of wildlife health and conservation.
We acknowledge the Wadawurrung and the Dja Dja Wurrung People as the Traditional Custodians of the land we live, work and study on, and recognise their ancient and ongoing connection with the land and waterways. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
