ALCOA renews and increases funding for Mandurah Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

The Mandurah Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is pleased to recognise Alcoa for its long-standing and highly valued support. This enduring relationship continues to play a critical role in enabling the Centre to deliver essential wildlife rescue and rehabilitation services across the Peel region.

Critical Support for the Rehabilitation of Native Wildlife

As the Centre’s principal Sponsor, Alcoa provides consistent financial support that directly underpins the feeding, treatment, and rehabilitation of almost a thousand native animals each year. This contribution supports both urgent, time-sensitive care and the ongoing operational requirements necessary to maintain a safe, compliant, and resilient facility.

Renewed Sponsoring Agreement

We are also pleased to note that the sponsorship agreement has recently been extended for a further three years, ensuring sustained coverage of all costs associated with treating, feeding, and rehabilitating the increasing number of sick, injured, and displaced native animals brought into our care.

Alcoa Busy Bees critical for maintenance

Alcoa’s involvement is distinguished not only by financial investment but also by extensive, coordinated on-site assistance. The company organises regular “Busy Bee” volunteer days, during which groups of Alcoa employees dedicate one or more days to completing essential maintenance and improvement work at the Centre.

These activities typically include infrastructure repairs, property clean-ups, bushfire-prevention measures in and around the Centre grounds, and the construction of new paths, aviaries, and other critical facilities.

Alcoa’s Support Allows the Centre to Grow

“Support like this gives us breathing room,” states Jo Evans, Chair Person of the Board. “It allows us to focus on our primary responsibilities, caring for wildlife, training volunteers, and educating the community, without the constant pressure of managing critical operational needs.”
