Training & Development

Hunter Wildlife Rescue (NATF) provides a broad range of training and development for its active members to support the high standards of wildlife rehabilitation required under OEH’s Code of Practice for Injured & Orphaned Protected Fauna and to ensure the successful return of such fauna back to the wild environment.

Courses are available only for active members who can commit to caring, rescuing or transporting. Unfortunately we’re unable to offer training to tertiary students or those seeking professional development unless they are active members. To register a place in a course, you must be a member who has first completed their Introduction To New Members course.

If you wish to attend a training course, please ensure you register prior to the cut off date to secure your spot.
