Who we are
The NSW Wildlife Council (NWC) is made up of representatives from wildlife rehabilitation groups throughout the state. Consequently, the NWC represents the interests of over four thousand wildlife rehabilitation volunteers across NSW. Click Here to see a list of the wildlife rehabilitators currently affiliated with the NSW Wildlife council.

Our goal is to improve the outcomes for Australian wildlife, especially those that are sick, injured or orphaned

Insurance Cover for Wildlife Carers.
The NWC has again been able to negotiate a public liability and personal accident policy to cover ALL wildlife carers affiliated with this Council. The Council has secured funding until 2010, and is already exploring options for beyond that year. We have also organised a substantial discount for those wildlife associations needing 'Directors and Officers' Insurance.
