A Christmas Possum Tale: Hope for Wildlife in the Northern Rivers

As the Northern Rivers Wildlife Hospital edges closer to its opening, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what this milestone means—not just for our community but for the countless animals who share this region with us. Madeleine Faught, our Board Chair, has written a heartfelt story that captures the challenges faced by our native wildlife and the hope that a dedicated wildlife hospital brings.

Wildlife Network Bands Together

The Northern Rivers is home to a passionate network of wildlife carers, and collaboration is key when animals need urgent care. Recently, with some local services temporarily unavailable, the NRWH volunteer team rallied to fill the gap, ensuring injured and displaced wildlife continued to receive the help they needed.

Swamp Rat’s Rescue and Recovery

One of our recent success stories involves a swamp rat rescued by a local volunteer wildlife carer after being cornered by a cat. That is when our volunteer team members stepped in to help.
