The Dingo population on the island is regarded as one of the the most pure strain of dingo remaining in eastern Australia and under the Nature Conservation Act is provided legal protection as a 'natural resource' of the Island, but that protection is limited.

Due to a lack of facilities, many injured animals do not receive medical treatment. Animals have been observed with fish hooks embedded, some causing serious infection.

Current policy is to euthanase dingoes with broken limbs or other unspecified injuries, many of these injuries could be treated. There have also been reports of paralysis tick and other treatable illnesses.

With proper facilities at hand it would minimize the loss of life for all wildlife on the Island.

National Parks across the country use the services of a Wildlife Rescue Group. Fraser Island should be no different.

OUR MISSION Establish and Maintain a Wildlife Care Centre on World Heritage listed Fraser Island.

Gain Community and stakeholder support for the establishment of the Care Centre.

Rescue, rehabilitate and release injured, orphaned and sick native animals of Fraser Island.

Raise awareness and appreciation of the importance of Fraser Island Fauna and the unique environment in which they live.

Recruit Wildlife Carers , professionals and other volunteers to assist in maintaining the Centre.

YOUR HELP!We need

World Heritage listed Fraser Island is abundant in wildlife.

More than 350 species of birds have been recorded, including the endangered ground parrot and Beach Thick Knee. It is also a particularly important site for migratory wading birds.

The Island is also home to approximately 50 species of terrestrial mammals, some of which are classified as rare or vulnerable.

The shores are visited by over 20 species of amphibian and the Island is home to 79 species of reptile, including 19 kinds of snakes.

Turtles birds and other animals are often found tangled in fishing line, injured by vehicle strike and many other naturally occurring trauma. Whilst some animals are treated by QPWS staff, most are left to their fate.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A WORLD HERITAGE NATIONAL PARK
