The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has developed a range of wildlife treatment resources including Initial Treatment and Care Guidelines and Codes of Practice for wildlife rehabilitators, veterinarians and veterinary nurses dealing with injured, sick or orphaned wildlife.

AVA mentors provide a sounding board, guidance, wisdom, and a safe space for recent graduates to share concerns. Find out why our mentees love about being part of the program.
