AddressPart-time Rescue Phone Coordinators
Our wildlife need your help!
At Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary we empower, educate and inspire our community to connect and care for wildlife, their habitats and the environment. Our people are the key to realising our vision of a future where wildlife and the environment is valued and thrives.
Last year, our Wildlife Rescue Service hotline received more than 17,300 calls for sick, injured and orphaned animals. Operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the hotline coordinated rescues right across Tasmania, providing animals in need with access to life saving treatment and specialist care.
In response to increasing demand on our hotline, Bonorong is looking to add additional Rescue Phone Coordinators to our team and invites applications from candidate passionate about our native animals and the environment.
