We rescue and rehabilitate injured and orphaned Australian native wildlife.

Covering 33 hectares and surrounded by State forest and National park, the sanctuary was established in 2015 and has been specifically set up to care for injured and orphaned wildlife - primarily kangaroos and wallabies.  

On 1st February 2020 during the black summer bushfires, 3 major out of control wildfires burnt and destroyed the sanctuary. We stayed to defend and protect the animals, however we were forced to evacuate when the fires became too hot to survive. We returned 2 days later and began rescuing and treating the survivors. Despite this setback, we will continue to do what we can to help our wildlife and have started the long process of rebuilding the sanctuary with the help from generous people who care about Australia's unique wildlife. 

Over 90% of the sanctuary has been "locked away" in perpetuity for conservation and for the benefit of wildlife under agreement with the NSW Government Biodiversity Conservation Trust, which protects the property's ecosystems and wildlife from development, logging, farming and hunting.

The sanctuary is a safe release site for rehabilitated wildlife and includes purpose built fencing to keep out feral animals, as well as macropod enclosures and joey enclosures to provide safety for them when recovering from injury and sickness. Shortly after the black summer fires, HSI Australia generously funded an emergency triage centre, specifically to help injured wildlife here and for use in future wildfires. The triage centre has been instrumental in ensuring local wildlife have the best chance of recovery.

The sanctuary is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), as a charitable organisation (Incorporated Association) with the sole purpose to rescue, rehabilitate and help native wildlife.

We are licensed to care for Australian native wildlife through LAOKO - Snowy mountains wildlife rescue NSW.

We do not get any financial assistance from the NSW State Government, nor from the Australian Federal Government. We do not have any paid management or employees.

The sanctuary is self funded and helped with donations by generous people who care about Australian native wildlife.

Every dollar donated is spent helping our wildlife with medications, medical supplies, veterinary services, food and enclosures.
