Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary is a dedicated non-profit charity committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting native wildlife. As the only sea turtle rescue facility between Ballina and Newcastle, we play a vital role in marine conservation, providing critical care to sick and injured marine animals. Our mission extends beyond rescue—we are shaping the future of conservation through education, research, and hands-on experiences that inspire the next generation of wildlife warriors.
Each year, we work with over 4,000 students, empowering them with knowledge and fostering a deep respect for Australia’s unique ecosystems. We also welcome over 50,000 visitors, offering unforgettable encounters with rescued animals and promoting sustainable practices.
But we have bigger plans for the future. Our vision is to build an all-purpose wildlife hospital, providing expert care for a wide range of native species while serving as an education hub for students in animal and environmental fields. With your support, we can expand our impact, improve our facilities, and ensure that injured wildlife receive the best possible care.

Your donation, sponsorship, or involvement helps us turn this vision into reality. Join us today—because the future of Australia’s wildlife depends on what we do now.
