Wildlife First Aid:

• check for danger to yourself and those around you
• check for further danger or injury to the animal
• ensure the animal actually needs rescuing!
• minimise noise
• minimise handling and stress
• keep pets and children away from wildlife
• do not offer wildlife food, especially not cow’s milk!
• move road kill at least 10m off the road
• check dead kangaroo and possum pouches for joeys
• contact us as soon as possible (or your local wildlife rescue organisation if you are not in the Darwin area)
• remember your safety always comes first!

Unfortunately we are unable to come to you to collect injured wildlife. We can however advise you on the best way to capture and transport an injured animal or bird to our clinic for treatment. In addition to our main opening hours we provide a 24 hour on call emergency service and advice for native wildlife.
