Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers is run entirely by volunteers who commit time assisting our native wildlife.
Our objectives and aims revolve around the conservation and welfare of our local wildlife. Our main aim is the rescue, rehabilitation and release of native fauna using methods and knowledge gained from many years of experience in the field. We rely on community support to continue to operate our services.
Our wildlife rescue and rehabilitation group has been looking after the wildlife in the Tweed Shire for over 30 years. We work 365 days a year, with our wildlife rescue phone hotline open 24 hours per day 7 days per week for the Tweed community.
Our volunteers undertake training in the rescue and care of native wildlife. it is our policy that all volunteers undertake induction and/or training at TVWC prior to commencing their volunteer position. TVWC operates under the NPWS licensing regulations and codes of practice for wildlife.
