Wildlife

Join us in making a wild difference!

Step into the heart of wildlife care at our RSPCA Qld Wildlife Hospital and discover an experience like no other. As a volunteer, you’ll play a vital role in supporting the daily operations that help injured and sick native animals get back to the wild where they belong.

From assisting with essential tasks to learning about the unique needs of our incredible wildlife, every shift offers something new. You’ll gain hands-on insight into animal care, work alongside passionate professionals, and see firsthand the impact your efforts make.

It’s not always easy—wildlife care can be challenging and fast-paced—but the reward is immense. Every animal you help is a life changed, and every moment spent here is a chance to grow your skills and make a real difference.

With flexible shifts and the opportunity to meet a variety of native species, this is your chance to turn compassion into action.

Ready to help us protect and care for Queensland’s wildlife? Apply today and be part of something truly wild!
