We help improve animal welfare in Australia
Established in 2016, Vets For Compassion is an Australian based not-for-profit organisation with a mission to improve animal welfare. All members of the Vets for Compassion team are volunteers. The highly trained team of veterinarians, vet nurses, wildlife darters, and wildlife rescuers respond to call outs at all hours of the day to perform life-saving surgery, rescue, rehabilitation, relocating and re-homing as well as provide emergency wildlife rescue assistance and disaster response here in Australia and around the world.
