Expert wild life care for the South-West
SOUTH-WEST WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Margaret River Wildlife Hospital is the South West’s first dedicated wildlife hospital.
We provide free veterinary treatment for sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife.
Based in Margaret River, our hospital brings dedicated wildlife care closer to communities across the South West of Western Australia, helping more animals receive the treatment they need.
Found wildlife that needs help?
If you have found an injured or distressed wild animal, visit our Wildlife Emergency
page for guidance and the right contact. Before handling or transporting wildlife,
seek advice from a wildlife rescue professional.
For sick or dead birds and marine mammals, do not handle them.
Keep people and pets away and report them to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
Why this hospital matters
The South West is home to extraordinary native wildlife. When an animal is injured or unwell, access to dedicated veterinary care can make a critical difference. Our hospital will fill a longstanding gap in specialist wildlife services outside Perth and strengthen the care available to wildlife rescuers, rehabilitators and the community.
Working together for wildlife
Margaret River Wildlife Hospital is a partnership between Wildlife Recovery Australia and WA Wildlife. Supported by a $1.5 million investment from the Western Australian Government, philanthropic funding and volunteer contributions, the hospital will increase regional capacity for wildlife treatment, rehabilitation support and emergency response.
Help make free wildlife care possible
Treatment will be free for every wildlife patient. Community support will help us provide veterinary care, medicines, equipment and the resources needed to keep this service available seven days a week.
