• When people think of volunteering, they often
  think of doing things to support other people.
  While these things are all very important,
  there's also a need for us to work together to
  help protect Australian wildlife.

• At Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, educating the
  public and giving them the opportunity to get up
  close to Australian wildlife is just one of the
  very important roles they're fulfilling, and this
  not-for-profit organisation couldn't exist
  without the help and support of volunteers and
  donors.

Caring for Sick Injured Wildlife

• One of the most important services the
  Sanctuary provides is free veterinary care for
  sick and injured wildlife. Currumbin Wildlife
  Hospital has cared for thousands of mammals,
  birds, reptiles, marsupials and more, since their
  doors opened.

• Here, wildlife receive the life-saving
  treatments and care they need to recover and
  return to the wild. Plus, the hospital offers an
  awesome viewing area, where park visitors can
  watch the veterinarians and other staff in action.

• Love to help wildlife? The hospital is always
  looking for volunteers, and you can support the
  efforts by either helping in the hospital or
  volunteering at various fundraising events

Get Your Teen Involved

• This will be a volunteering opportunity your
  teen won't refuse! If you have a 15-18 year old
  who would be comfortable speaking to visitors and
  providing them with the information they need to
  fully enjoy their experience, this could be the
  volunteering gig they've been looking for. Teen
  volunteers help out at the Sanctuary on the
  weekends and holidays.

Help with Wildlife and Horticulture

• If you love to garden or are enthusiastic
  about Australian wildlife, you may enjoy
  volunteering as part of our wildlife and
  horticulture group. These volunteers go around
  the park with members of our staff, helping out
  in many different ways, from raking and sweeping
  to preparing food and repairing animal
  enclosures.

Test it Out for a Day

• If you're not sure if you will enjoy
  volunteering at the Sanctuary, or you can't
  commit to longer term volunteering positions but
  would like to help out, come and volunteer for a
  day.

11

• You can either participate in the Walk in the
  Park program, where you will walk around and
  greet visitors and help them find various
  attractions, or volunteer at one of our
  fundraising events.

• If you're looking for a rewarding and fun way
  to give back, consider volunteering at the
  Sanctuary, where people not only learn about
  Australian wildlife, but wildlife receive the
  health care and support they need.
