Situated just off the Western highway in the little town of Gerang Gerung, half way between Nhill and Dimboola, the Gerang Gerung Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation centre was established to care for orphaned, injured and unwell wildlife. Purpose built enclosures were constructed to house raptors, water birds and bats, cockatoos, parrots and possums. There is also a spot for reptiles. 

​

The Rescue and Rehabilitation centre was established with release in mind however during the rehabilitation process careful attention and importance is placed on dietary requirements and behavioural enrichment. The opportunity to express natural behaviour is very important during rehabilitation. This can be achieved in the extra large enclosures and species specific enrichment strategies.

​

Animal suffering is one of the biggest issues affecting our society today. From climate change to animal cruelty and casualties our hands are full with local challenges. Gerang Gerung Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation centre is all about making a difference, day after day, 365 days a year. Since opening, the centre has been dedicated to improving the lives of native animals across the Wimmera. I believe that it is every human beings responsibility to take care of the creatures around us, big or small.
 

Above all else, at the Gerang Gerung Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation centre the focus is on saving and rehabilitating  wildlife in care and their eventual release. This commitment can be found in everything I do - from advocacy and education to rescue, rehabilitation and release.
