About us / Contact us This Web site is managed by Australian Fauna Care (inc). One of our key goals was to maintain this website on behalf of Australian wildlife care groups. We can be contacted by  email. Unfortunately due to the amount of SPAM and VIRUS attacks, we have to ask that you copy this email address, and remove the capital letters from the address before you send it.  It is unfortunate, and we apologise for the inconvenience. However, we have been receiving so many viruses and junk email, that we have had to take this option. Our email address is info@faunaSTOPSPAM.org.au. Important - remove "STOPSPAM" from the address before you send the email. We were able to set up this facility with the generous assistance of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (www.ifaw.org).  Our guiding principles are:
artwork by J Matthews	We will remain an independent, not-for-profit association We will promote cooperation between groups whose main objective is the welfare of native Australian wildlife We will provide our skills to assist people and organisations whose primary aim is to rehabilitate wildlife To avoid duplication, where an appropriate resource already exists, we prefer to link to it rather than reproduce it We will be guided by animal welfare, and conservation principles
The reason for the website is to create a resource to improve the way in which Australian Native organisations interact. We are building this resource as we go, but the core elements are:-

• Directory
  The idea of this is to have a central directory of information on Australian native animals care and rescue or welfare organisations. We hope that organisations will let us know when their details change so that this can remain an up-to-date, reliable resource.
  We also hope Wildlife organisations will use the directory as THE source for locating related links. As we grow, we hope to provide alternate ways of searching through the database.
   
• News page
  A resource available to all organisations, to broadcast any news of general interest. We will try to update this page with news
  articles that are relevant / helpful to the welfare of Australian fauna.
   
• Resources page(s)
  We provide some resources volunteered from various native animal groups. This may include instructions, research, formulas
  and so on. We may also include links to specific sites which already have interesting and useful resources. (Before being
  published, al resources will be checked by a recognised authority in the field - and will note who is the approving authority).
   

     We hope you find these facilities useful.  I can always do with help and advice, and will do my best
     to keep this service operating and relevant. But please be patient, as this is a volunteer effort, and
     at this stage, we can not treat this as a full time activity.

     Regards,
