Visited with my mum on the 27th of December and had the amazing Lauren as our guide. If you are from the Perth area or are visiting, put this on your immediate to-do list. Brilliant for small and bigger groups alike.
Both of us were awe struck at the brilliant work the center does and its growth over the years, as well as the ingenuity, dedication, and passion that its vets and volunteers bring on a daily basis.
Learning about the wildlife hospital, how it’s able to manage seeing roughly 6000 animals across WA’s diverse wildlife, its impact and plans for the future is as fascinating as it is heart-warming.
That’s not even the half of it as you still get to meet the resident animals who are stunning and very well cared for ! This follows on naturally from the first part of the tour as you get you to have a more hands-on and up close experience of wildlife in Australia and develop a deep respect for the animals. We loved Raffi the red-tailed black cockatoo, Vinne the wombat, and the dingos Bindi & Banjo.
Special credit to our guide Lauren who was so engaging, knowledgeable, and good fun! Always happy to answer our questions and is a true credit. TLDR: Go and have a...
Read moreOn Friday afternoon we took a baby Raven to them that we found near the road. He could eat and drink if we feed it too him. He's only issue he wasn't developed enough to fly.

We took him inside and tried to feed him but no luck. He died later that evening. What I want to know is who made the decision to release him. Especially seeing he couldn't fly. He was suffering for many hours until we found him again. They never notified us they were going to release him. We would have picked him up and looked after him. We trusted they would do the right thing. We took w perfectly healthy bird just not developed enough to fly yet In the end they only caused harm to him. I know its only a Raven that annoy most people but didn't mean he had to die a painful death just because of...
Read moreMy recent experience on the Nocturnal Nightstalk Tour with WA Wildlife, led by incredibly knowledgeable volunteers, was nothing short of extraordinary. It offered a perfect blend of adventure and education, providing valuable insights into native wildlife conservation.
From encountering Houdini the python (and even getting the chance to hold him!) to spotting bats with our special red-light torch in the bush, every moment was filled with excitement and wonder. And discovering that wombats glow-in-the-dark? Mind-blown.
My son had an absolute blast rescuing an injured frog, and we were impressed by the dedication of WA Wildlife to our native animals. Their passion for wildlife conservation was evident throughout the tour.
