Comments:
Phillip Island Nature Parks runs a Wildlife Clinic for sick and injured animals across Phillip Island. Trained staff are on call from 7:30am to 4pm daily to attend wildlife rescue calls. Outside of those hours, wildlife emergencies are managed by Wildlife Victoria - the largest rescue network in the state. Wildlife Victoria is manned by trained volunteers.
The new Wildlife Clinic, opened in 2011, is funded through Phillip Island Nature Parks’ ecotourism activities and the Penguin Foundation adopt a penguin program. The Nature Parks' Wildlife Clinic is not equipped to house or rehabilitate seals. Most seals are best left alone to give them a chance to rest and recover.
The Clinic is purpose built to care for Phillip Island’s sick and injured native wildlife. Starvation, road trauma, pet or feral animal attacks, oil spills and boat trauma are common causes of admittance to the Clinic. The Wildlife Clinic provides access to offsite veterinary care and treatment when required. The ultimate aim of wildlife rehabilitation is to return healthy animals to the wild so they can resume life without further support.
