There is an urgent need to better prepare veterinary professionals in the treatment and care of wildlife, both in readiness for the next bushfire season or the next natural disaster which impacts our precious wildlife, but also for the day-to-day care of wildlife presented to veterinary clinics across the country.
In response, VBB is partnering with WWF to offer a wildlife training and response package for veterinary clinics.
Selected veterinary clinics will receive a tranquiliser rifle, with veterinary staff offered training in Taronga’s wildlife course (online & practical components), AIIMs awareness, and darting and capture of wildlife (vets only).
