ABOUT WIRES

WIRES (The NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc) was established in 1985. Since then branches have been established covering most of NSW. It is the largest wildliferescue and care organisation in Australia.

Belonging to such a large state wide organisation gives members and carers the opportunity to learn and share information on a broader scale.

All rescue and emergency calls made to WIRES are listed in a state wide data base. From the time an animal is taken into care, it is tracked via this data base.

Information on all aspects of the animal whilst it is in care is entered in to the data base including reason for coming into care, veterinary treatment, all aspects of its time in care, and finally the fate of the animal.

All WIRES carers undertake intensive training in wildlife care, and many go on to specialise in specific species.
