In the last financial year WIRES received over 170,000 calls to our 1300 number and over 95,000 requests for rescue advice and assistance.
Hundreds of animals are always in care, with spring and summer being the busiest months.
100% of funds help feed native animals in care
In the last financial year WIRES spent over $287,620 on wildlife food and we know many of our dedicated carers spend their own funds on food as well.
The cost to feed different animals in care varies greatly from species to species, food types, brands and across all different ages.*Wombat joeys can be in care longer than any other species, often needing care for up to 2 years before they can be released.
