Wildlife Welfare Organisation (SA) Inc.

The Wildlife Welfare Organisation (SA) Inc. (WWO) was established in 1984 to assist with the ever-growing number of sick and injured wildlife found on the Fleurieu Peninsula, mostly caused through direct and indirect human interactions such as line entanglement, car strikes and domestic animal attacks. In 2021 alone, the WWO cared for over 1200 wild animals and answered over 2000 phone calls on our 24/7 rescue hotline. The small team at WWO are trained to rescue, care for and rehabilitate sick or injured animals with funding raised solely from donations, fundraising events and through our op shop based in Goolwa. Our team includes a single staff member and is generously assisted by over 30 volunteers, donating their time to save wildlife. WWO also offers free education and advice to people who may be unsure on what actions to take when discovering sick or injured wildlife.
