Thanks to your generosity, the University of Sydney’s team of veterinary staff and students have been able to make an immense impact in the care and recovery of animals devastated by the recent bushfires over the last 12 months in caring for wildlife. Of course, the sentinel event over the last 12 months was the bushfires in the period November 2019 to March 2020 and their devastating effect on our wildlife populations. The local community has been very generous in supporting the AREPH hospital as well as other wildlife caring organisations in response to this disaster.
However as one of the donors to the ongoing care of wildlife you understand that the work of caring for injured and sick wildlife goes on 365 days a year - including during the period of bushfires.
Through your generous support we have cared for over 700 animals. One of our goals from last year was to upgrade our equipment and we have purchased heated reptile cages, provided new thermostatic heaters for the wards and a new autoclave for surgical instruments.
Here are some of the animals your donation has directly helped in the last 12 months:
Koalas - 48 cases
Native birds - 303
Turtles and other amphibians -71
Kangaroos /Wallabies - 38
Lizards /snakes - 45
Wombats - 35
Possums /gliders - 32
Echidnas - 16
Our funding goals for the next 12 months include:
These are large goals but the need is great so we need your continued support!

We cannot thank you enough for your support,
The AREPH team
