During Stage 3 restrictions:

  • Sick, injured and orphaned wildlife can still be reported on 03 8400 7300, online via our report function or using the Snap Send Solve app.
  • Wildlife volunteers will not be able to enter a private dwelling and must maintain a distance of at least 1.5m from other persons
  • Vet clinics will require you to call ahead before dropping off wildlife
