ACT Wildlife Incorporated
ACT Wildlife Incorporated is an Australian nonprofit organisation focused on wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission (ACNC), the organisation operates under the mission to protect native wildlife and ecosystems by rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured, sick, displaced, or orphaned animals[2][4][5].

Mission and Operations
The organisation's work encompasses three core activities:

• Rescue: Responding to reports of distressed wildlife across the ACT.
• Rehabilitation: Providing medical care and shelter to animals until they recover.
• Release: Returning healthy animals to their natural habitats[2][4].
  Additionally, ACT Wildlife conducts public education programs to promote coexistence between humans and native species in urban environments[4][5]. Volunteers, including trained carers and administrative staff, form the backbone of the organisation, with training programs covering specialized care for birds, possums, and other native fauna[3][5].

Community Engagement and Fundraising
ACT Wildlife relies on community support through initiatives such as its annual fundraising calendar, which features photographs of rescued animals and highlights volunteer efforts[1]. The Sponsor a Species program allows donors to contribute monthly to specific animal groups, including koalas and bats, by funding essential supplies[1]. Partnerships with local businesses and organisations further enable the group to offset operational costs and expand its reach[1][5].

Governance
As an incorporated association and registered charity, ACT Wildlife operates under a committee structure, with volunteers managing administrative tasks, events, and wildlife training[5]. The organisation emphasizes transparency in its annual reports, detailing rescue statistics, financial expenditures, and conservation outcomes[5].
