ABOUT THE RSPCA QLD WILDLIFE HOSPITAL

RSPCA Queensland is a non-government, community-based charity dedicated to improving the lives of domestic, farmed, and native animals in Queensland. Our mission statement is simple but powerful: Together We Change Lives.
RSPCA Queensland has the largest and busiest Wildlife Hospital in the state, providing care to over 24,000 native animals every year. There are many factors that impact our native animals: natural disasters such as bushfire and droughts, dog attacks, road accidents, disease and habitat loss.

Join our team at RSPCA Queensland, where we operate seven days a week. We are seeking a versatile candidate who thrives in a fast-paced environment. Wildlife patients are admitted to the hospital via members of the public, RSPCA animal ambulances and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation groups. Wildlife cases in care with rehabilitators are also seen on an outpatient basis.
