Taronga Wildlife Hospitals

Taronga Wildlife Hospitals

Support Taronga’s Wildlife Hospitals.

More than 1,500 sick, injured or orphaned native animals are treated in our Wildlife hospitals each year.

As a result of the extreme floods, our Vets are on standby ready and prepared for the influx of storm affected wildlife to come through our doors.

Heavy rainfall and storm events impact all wildlife, but are particularly challenging for birds, small mammals and infant animals.

Our Hospitals provide emergency assistance for animals in the wild and are assembling their Wildlife Response Plan, ready to care for our wildlife in need.

Your kind gifts today can help provide the vital medical supplies and treatment needed to provide Australian wildlife the best possible care.

Many of the animals we see have been injured by people, boats and cars, are suffering from disease, or have been impacted by natural disasters like bushfires, droughts or floods.

More animals are being cared for at Taronga's two Wildlife Hospitals than ever before.

  • 1,500+ sick, injured and orphaned native animals each year treated at our existing Wildlife Hospitals
  • 120 surgeries per month
  • 150 Koalas treated during the 2019/20 NSW bushfires
  • 7 native species have been saved by Taronga from extinction
  • 80+ Marine Turtles rehabilitated and released annually
  • 50,000 animals released back into the wild to date
