How to Volunteer
Join us in caring for and ensuring the future of our local species
Volunteer
FAWNA cares for sick, injured, orphaned and displaced wildlife, as well as conducting training, research and community education and awareness.
Volunteers make up 100% of our workforce and are the backbone that holds everything together. There are many varied roles for volunteers within our organisation, and you can do as much or as little as you have time for. Please keep in mind that all our volunteers work toward a common end goal – To release rehabilitated wildlife back into the wild as quickly as possible.
Volunteers do not need any previous experience in working with animals as all training is provided. However, in order to volunteer you must be over 16 years of age or accompanied by a guardian over 16 years, we also ask that you have a current tetanus vaccination.
Please note there is an annual membership fee. The value depends on your chosen level of impact and is invoiced and payable once the committee accept your application. An invoice will be generated annually.
If you are ready to make a difference, choose your level of impact and you will be directed to an application form on our volunteer program “Better Impact”. Please forward any questions to fawna.inc@gmail.com

School Volunteer Program
FAWNA’s school volunteer program allows students to develop skills that they can then apply to everyday life. It can make students feel more confident and connected to nature and people. Students under the supervision of their teachers participate in many different areas.
Participation can be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly according to the schools’ individual requirements.
Volunteering with FAWNA can create a positive change in a student’s life and the things they care about. It gives them a way to;
