Report Wildlife Emergency

Online transporter training

Wildlife Victoria is pleased to be opening a new intake for transport volunteers.

As reports of sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife continue to grow each year, it’s crucial for us to find people with an ongoing commitment to get animals to and from treatment and care facilities.

Transport volunteering might be a good fit if you:

  • Want to play a key role in helping native animals, without having to handle them

  • Are willing and able to drive long distances – especially mid-week

  • Meet the eligibility requirements (see below)

If this sounds the right opportunity for you, please join us online from 7:00 – 8:00 PM, on Wednesday February 11 for a transport information session. In this session we will go into more detail about our organisation, explain exactly what the transport volunteer role is about, and do our best to answer any of your questions so you can decide if it’s a good fit and whether you’d like to apply.

Please note that only people who have attended an information session will be invited to apply.
