There’s a certain kind of person who volunteers at Mandurah Wildlife. They’re not in it for the glory, the social media content, or the chance to bottle-feed a baby kangaroo—though, yes, sometimes that does happen (and it’s as heart-melting as you imagine). The community here is built on that kind of quiet magic. It’s a wild mix of personalities—nurturers, problem-solvers, deep-thinkers, practical geniuses—and somehow, it works.

At Mandurah Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, we receive an array of native wildlife in need of care. They come to us vulnerable, dependent, and at risk of becoming too accustomed to humans.

We’re excited to share some wonderful news about our adorable ducklings! They’ve been thriving in our care, growing rapidly, and adapting well to their new environment. These little ones are eating well and keeping our volunteers on their toes with their playful antics—and let’s just say, they’re pooping a lot too!
