Our Story
About Wildlife Rescue Australia
Wildlife Rescue Australia is a non-profit, voluntary organisation specialising in the rescue of native animals.
It is independent of any other organisation or Government body in Australia. Its founding members included two Honorary Life Members of NSW WIRES and several members of the State Emergency Service (SES).
Wildlife Rescue Australia was incorporated as Wildlife Rescue Inc in Feb 2011, originally intending to operate in the Coffs Harbour area of NSW. However, following an increasing number of calls from other States, WRA now operates throughout Australia.
Our Approach to Wildlife Rescue
To achieve its objective, WRA has established a state-of-the-art communication system consisting of the WRI Call Centre and the MapMaker Search Facility.
Using Local Providers
The Call Centre software and the MapMaker software are installed on separate servers in Sydney.
Helping Thousands Every Year
The Centre has a technical capacity of over one million incoming calls per year.
