Report

If you know the whereabouts of a mange-infested wombat, it needs your help! We advocate treatment before euthanasia. If mange has not advanced to a secondary infection, and we can find its burrow, then there is a good chance that we can save it. A photo of the wombat can help us with an initial assessment to see if it is mange or a wound. So please try to get a photo, record the wombat’s location on your phone using Google Maps, and contact us via phone call or Facebook. No matter where you are in Tasmania, one of our volunteers will assist.

Treat

Interested in starting your own wombat care / treatment / protection group in your locality?

We will help you get this started; the more people involved the less pressure there is on existing volunteers, and the more wombats that can be helped. If you’re interested in getting involved or learning more about how you can help please fill out the contact form on this web site or call 0419 585 001 to get involved.

DONATE

If none of these are relevant to your situation but you still want to help, donations are always welcome.

We cannot help wombats without volunteers and equipment needed to do so, and with so many affected, supplies are always limited.

Donations help us to secure these things and continue with our quest. Thank you to all those who have generously contributed to saving wombats in the time we have been doing this.

Even $10 can help make several flaps, which means several wombats are helped.
