ORRCA’s research plays a vital role in supporting evidence-based conservation, improving rescue and rehabilitation outcomes, and informing marine wildlife management across Australia. We collaborate with researchers, government agencies, universities and conservation partners on a range of marine mammal projects and initiatives, including some of Australia’s longest-running citizen science programs.

You don’t need a scientific background to contribute. ORRCA welcomes people with a passion for marine conservation and skills across a range of areas to support our research team through:

• FIELD RESEARCH SUPPORT: Assist with observations, surveys and data collection projects.
• DATA AND ADMINISTRATION: Support data entry, research coordination and project administration.
• PHOTOGRAPHY & PHOTO IDENTIFICATION: Contribute imagery and sightings that assist marine mammal monitoring.
• SPECIALIST SKILLS: Researchers, students and professionals may assist with specific scientific and conservation projects.
