Buddy in Trouble
If you find an injured or sick native animal please contact your local wildlife rescue group. These
volunteers are trained to care for and will come and pick up the animal to nurse it back to health.
While you wait follow their advice - keep the animal warm in a quiet, dark place, handle it only as much
as absolutely necessary and do not offer it food or water unless advised by the carer.
There are wildlife rehabilitation and rescue groups in each state and territory.
