Melton MP Steve McGhie has announced that applications for the 2023 Wildlife Rehabilitator Grants are now open for wildlife shelter operators and
foster carers to access grants of up to $3,000.
The grants will help volunteer wildlife rehabilitators continue to care for thousands of native animals every year including kangaroos, koalas, possums,
wombats, birds and reptiles.
Last year more than 100 wildlife carers and shelters across Victoria received the grants, helping to fund wildlife enclosures, medication, feed, rescue equipment
and veterinary fees.
Melton MP Steve McGhie said the grants are about “helping the many dedicated volunteers who house, feed and care for our precious wildlife when they need it most.”
Applications close at 3.30pm on September 15.
