Such good advice keep your eyes open for our beautiful native animals

The clocks have changed, but wildlife haven’t.

As evenings grow darker earlier for most Australian states, more animals are moving at the same time we’re on the road. It’s a small shift, but it can have serious consequences for native wildlife.

Slowing down at dusk, staying alert, and watching the roadside can help prevent collisions, especially in areas where wildlife are known to cross.

If you find an injured, orphaned, or distressed native animal, contact WIRES on 1300 094 737, or report it online ⤵️

Australian Wildlife Hub is officially launching, and it’s all about the animals.

Every day across Australia, native animals are rescued, rehabilitated, and given second chances by carers and small wildlife organisations working quietly behind the scenes.

This Hub exists to support them, and the animals they care for, in real, practical ways.

Through education, ethical products, and giving, Australian Wildlife Hub is designed to give back directly to wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, helping ensure no animal is left to suffer when help is possible.

When you shop at Australian Wildlife Hub, you choose where the profits go, knowing your money is directly supporting wildlife in care.

This launch is about community, compassion and hope, and I’m so excited for what we can achieve together.

Please take part in this perition

📣TAKE ACTION - JOIN OUR EMAIL CAMPAIGN!

The current bushfire crisis has left countless kangaroos killed, injured, displaced, and left without food and water.

Despite this, a whopping 207,800 Victorian kangaroos remain earmarked for slaughter in 2026, both through the commercial ‘Kangaroo Harvesting Program’ and the non-commercial ‘Authority to Control Wildlife’ permit system.

The government claims to take a 'precautionary approach', but clearly their priority is appeasing landholders and maintaining the kangaroo industry’s commercial interests.

Please join us in telling them this is not acceptable. We have set up an easy template email 👉 https://actionnetwork.org/letters/speak-up-for-bushfire-survivors

It asks for your street address, but it will accept just your suburb.

Thanks to Advocacy For A Kinder World for helping us set this up, Rescue Rehabilitate Release for the moving photographs, and a big thanks to YOU for supporting this campaign!

What to do if there is a possum in your roof 🐾

When natural habitat is lost, possums sometimes look for shelter in chimneys and the roof cavities of sheds and houses.

Possums are protected in NSW and cannot be caught or relocated without a licence. WIRES volunteers are unable to assist with roof repairs or possum relocation, but our call centre can help connect you with a licensed professional who knows how to manage the situation safely and humanely.

The kindest long term solution is to block roof access points and provide a safe alternative, such as a possum box or drey installed in a suitable nearby tree. This gives possums a secure place to go, while helping to keep your roof possum free.
