Introduction to Wildlife Rehabilitation in Western Australia
About
Perth’s four major wildlife hospitals are pleased to announce that our 2026 wildlife rehabilitation training is now open for bookings.
This comprehensive two day course introduces you to the foundational skills needed to care for injured, sick, orphaned and displaced native birds, mammals and reptiles in an offsite care setting. Learn about the legal and ethical framework that protects native animal health, welfare and ecology and hear from experienced wildlife rehabilitators about the complexities, challenges and rewards of wildlife rehabilitation.
This training has been written and developed by the Wildlife Rehabilitation Advisory Group of Western Australia: a joint collaboration between Kanyana Wildlife, WA Wildlife, Darling Range Wildlife and Perth Wildlife Hospital. To practice as a wildlife rehabilitator after the course, participants will need to apply for a license with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, follow the Code of Practice for Wildlife Rehabilitation in Western Australia and align with an established wildlife group, for ongoing mentoring and support.
We particularly encourage people living in peri-urban, rural or remote areas - where wildlife rehabilitation services are more difficult to access – to attend.
