Our heroes! We are a small volunteer group but create a huge impact at ground zero in Mallacoota; treating, feeding and nurturing our precious wildlife! Every day is a team effort.

All we can say is thank you. The entire Vets for Compassion team has been absolutely humbled by the support we have received from the public – from offers to donate your time, to donating veterinary supplies, right through to financial donations, we are just blown away by your support.

Thanks to our amazing friends at Animals Australia, we today received a massive 900-kilogram drop of kangaroo pellets! Food is so scarce for these precious animals, with so much of their habitat burnt, and the local golf course not able to cope with the number of animals feeding on it. Getting roo food into Mallacoota via a light plane was the …

We hope this will entice them down, so we can catch and treat them, or, at the very least, give them something to eat and drink. We will …
⚠️⚠️WARNING: distressing images ⚠️⚠️ Burnt paws, tails, mums and joeys. These are just some of the heartbreaking things our vets have encountered in East Gippsland today. We have treated as many animals as we could, and, sadly, euthanised some that we couldn’t save – at least they will no longer suffer. We have been blown away by your support for …

We will be bringing you more information over the coming days as we …
Our hearts are aching. Aching for this beautiful country we are watching turn to ash before our eyes. For the people who have lost their lives, and the families left behind. For the hundreds of millions of native animals who never stood a chance. For the countless other animals – the cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, goats… the sheer scale of …
