Friends of Free Wildlife

Friends of Free Wildlife (Free Wildlife) is a community-based, wildlife rehabilitation organisation. It was founded in November 2015 after the closure of FreeMe by a handful of dedicated volunteers who had the best interests of our urban wildlife as their founding mandate. Free Wildlife’s vision is to create a well-respected, ethical wildlife rehabilitation centre that provides for the rescue, rehabilitation and release of compromised urban wildlife.

The NPO has become a much loved centre for members of the public to bring sick, injured, orphaned or displaced wildlife, and to volunteer their services.
