- It’s an excellent introduction for anyone new to wildlife care, rehabilitation or rescue, or for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of how to care for native species.
- You’ll learn how to identify common native mammals, recognise signs of stress or illness, and provide appropriate feeding, housing and handling — all essential skills for anyone interested in helping native animals.
- Many students use this course to enhance their skills as volunteers in wildlife rehabiltiation.
This course is a valuable way to explore your passion, build your confidence, and gain meaningful knowledge you can apply in real wildlife care settings.
