Welcome

The Australian Wildlife Assistance Rescue and Education is a not for profit wildlife rescue group dedicated to helping sick, injured and orphaned wildlife  from around the Mt Eliza area to Melbourne and encompassing the Oakleigh-Springvale and Dandenong-Cranbourne areas.

Australia is home to many unique and beautiful birds and animals. It is important that we protect the species we are lucky enough to have because if Australians don't protect their own wildlife, who will?

By rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife we promote genetic diversity. This means there will be a wider range of genes to pass on to future generations which will help the survival of that species. With 'global warming' issues and increased habitat loss wildlife rescue is more important than ever.

Don't Burn That Hollow Log This Winter!

Do you have wood fire? If you have please don’t burn hollow logs and branches. Our wildlife carers need them.

When wildlife is nearing release they are moved into larger outside aviaries for exercise and to acclimatize to outside conditions. Hollow logs are often hung in the aviaries to encourage them to explore areas they will need to find out in their natural environment.

Hollow logs cannot be taken from bushland – the wildlife there already needs it. We need the logs that are sitting there already on the wood pile or if a tree is cut down on your property and contains hollows.
