Wildcare's Mission
___________________________________________________
To Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release Sick, Injured and Orphaned Native Australian Wildlife.
Wildcare's Objectives
___________________________________________________
The objectives of Wildcare, as set out in its constitution, are:
- To rescue and care for native Australian fauna unable to fend for itself, with the best interests of the animal to take precedence at all times. The object is to return the animal to the wild as close as possible to its rescue location - if this is unknown the animal must not be returned to the wild.
- To relocate, with the approval of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, any native animal (e.g. a snake) which is under threat or causing distress to the public.
- To train members in the rescue and care of native wildlife.
- To alleviate suffering experienced by injured, sick or orphaned animals by seeking prompt veterinary treatment or painless euthanasia.
- To publicly encourage the protection and welfare of native wildlife and its habitats.
- To undertake educational activities that help to raise public awareness of wildlife issues.
- To review policies in the light of current knowledge, and initiate any necessary actions in pursuit of our aims and objectives.
- To undertake fundraising activities to maintain the viability of the organisation and to achieve our various objectives.
- To be of assistance to other groups and organisations where practical, and to exchange information with relevant groups and individuals.
