Why are all these amazing celebrities helping Sydney Wildlife?
Well, we are frantically raising funds to buy and custom-fit a van which will become a Mobile Clinic for treating injured, sick and orphaned wildlife.
The van will be stationed in different parts of Sydney every week to assist with wildlife in distress.
It may also be deployed to areas affected by natural disasters such as bushfires, floods and soaring temperatures causing heat-stress events.
The van will be staffed by veterinarians who offer to volunteer their time to help our wildlife. It may be a wonderful training centre for our veterinary students and a huge asset to our community.
All these wonderful celebrities believe in our pioneering vision and are willing to donate their time and celebrity status to bring our vision to life.
What is Sydney Wildlife?
We are a 100% volunteer-run organisation dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing any sick, injured or orphaned Australian native wildlife.
We receive no Government funding and we need YOU to help us!
Why do our wildlife need help?

The biggest danger our wildlife face is a lack of interest in their welfare.
In addition - habitat loss, vehicle strike, disease, predation and injury from introduced species, dealing with man-made obstacles such as netting, litter and fences and natural disasters are among the many perils they face daily.
How far are we with our goal?
The cost of the van, the custom fit-out, the medical equipment and medications needed to get the Mobile Clinic on the road we estimate to be around the $200K mark.
So far we have raised $72K.
Yes, it’s an ambitious project.
Yes, it’s a pioneering project.
Yes’ it’s a first.
But, in the wise words of veterinarian Dr Karin Lourens:
“There is a first for everything.
Sometimes it’s the only way to make history.”
