Your Help Gives Them a Second Chance
Your generosity is the lifeblood of our organisation. As a non-profit, volunteer-run charity, we rely entirely on the support of our community to continue our life-saving work. Every donation—no matter how big or small—directly helps us rescue, rehabilitate, and release native wildlife.
Financial Support
One-Time Donation: Your one-time gift provides immediate funds for critical needs like emergency vet bills, specialised food, and rescue equipment.
Recurring Donation: A regular, monthly gift provides us with a stable source of funding, allowing us to plan for the future and ensure consistent care for all our animals.

Sponsorship and Supporters
We extend our deepest gratitude to the businesses and individuals who partner with us through our sponsorship program. Your support is instrumental in sustaining our operations and helping us grow our impact. Our tiered sponsorship packages provide a way for businesses to contribute to our mission while receiving recognition for their generosity. We are proud to acknowledge and thank our current supporters for their commitment to our cause.
Corporate Partnerships and Sponsorship Tiers
caresartnerships are vital to our work, offering a meaningful way for companies to align their values with a positive community and environmental impact. We offer several partnership tiers to suit businesses of all sizes, each providing unique benefits.
Bronze Tier: Your contribution helps us cover the daily costs of ongoing wildlife rehabilitation. This tier includes a listing on our website and a mention in our annual presidents report.
Silver Tier: This level of support provides essential specialised formula for orphaned joeys for several weeks. As a Silver Partner, you’ll receive a listing with your logo on our website, social media acknowledgment, and a feature in our members newsletter.
Gold Tier: Your partnership at this level helps fund life-saving equipment for premature joeys. Gold Partners receive prominent logo placement on our website, dedicated social media posts, and a highlight in our communications.
Platinum Tier: This premier partnership helps us cover the costs of ongoing veterinary expenses and cover additional costs incurred by our carers. Platinum Partners receive top-tier recognition on all our platforms, including exclusive features, and a collaborative partnership on specific projects.
Fundraising and Workplace Giving
You can also rally your community to make a massive difference for native animals.
Start a Fundraiser: Whether you’re a student, an athlete, or a business professional, you can create a fundraiser for wildlife. Ideas include:
At Work: Host a bake sale, morning tea, or challenge your colleagues to a physical activity.
In Celebration: Instead of receiving gifts for a birthday or special event, ask friends and family to donate to our cause.
Your Way: Start a challenge, host a get-together, or use your creative skills to raise funds.
Workplace Giving: This is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to donate. A small, pre-tax deduction from each paycheck can make a huge impact. Many companies will even match your donation, doubling the support for our wildlife. Ask your employer if they have a program and nominate Tablelands Wildlife Rescue.
Your support, no matter the form, is directly used to rescue, rehabilitate, and release native animals, giving them a second chance at life in the wild.
