Lotterywest Wildlife Hospital

If you have any feedback on how we can make our new website better please do contact us and we would like to hear from you.


This page is dedicated to our new Lotterywest Wildlife Hospital that we have only just started to work in thanks to our Lotterywest funding approval. The hospital itself is setup for all our wildlife patients that have been injured, sick, or orphaned. This is the hub of where Kimberley Wildlife Rescue does most of its rehabilitation and wildlife care work. Pictured above is Dr. Sarah Brett and the LotteryWest worker, Marilyn, who assisted us to get the funding for our hospital to be constructed. Without the Funding we received there simply wouldn't be a place for our wildlife patients and admissions to go. The hospital itself is air-conditioned, we have new reptile boxes so we can place wildlife patients in them to give them a safe and warm place to recuperate. We have a new fridge and freezer so that we can store all the food we need to feed all our patients. We have a dedicated office area so that we can keep Kimberley Wildlife Rescue completely separate from the Vet Centre itself and become an entity in its own right. You can always come and visit us to see what critters we have in care by visiting the Kimberley Vet Centre or you could go and see the Sandalwood Sanctuary where some of our wallaby's and joeys have been released. We have successfully cared for and released numerous native animals since our hospital has been open. Some admissions that stand out this year are the Tawny Frogmouths that we had released only to find they came back and are living quite happily with their new baby. A lot of reptiles including snakes, lizards and turtles. Micro Bats and Flying Foxes early in the year and Northern Brown Bandicoots. At the moment we also have two Short Beaked Echidnas that are resting in the hospital. Unfortunately the other two could not be saved. Baby birds are always coming in and a few joeys that have been successfully released into our Wildlife Sanctuary at The Old Dairy. It's always a pleasure to release an animal that has been injured to find out later that it's surviving in the wild and that is the whole point of having a dedicated hospital so we can give each and every patient that comes in the proper treatment it requires.
