Native Animal
 Recovery Centre 

A New Era in Wildlife Care

The WIRES Native Animal Recovery Centre is a purpose-built facility to support the rehabilitation of native wildlife.

The new WIRES Native Animal Recovery Centre replaces outdated, makeshift facilities with a purpose-built, state-of-the-art space. This landmark centre is the result of a powerful partnership between Randwick City Council, the NSW Government, and WIRES.

The Wildlife Centre includes:

• Nine possum enclosures

• Three bird enclosures

• A large flight aviary — allowing birds to strengthen their wings and relearn critical flight skills before release

• Dedicated rest and work areas for volunteers

• Ample storage for food, supplies, and equipment

The expanded capacity also means we can now support a wider range of species, including animals we previously had to refer elsewhere — like Ibis and larger birds.

A State-of-the-Art Wildlife Facility

This centre represents a major leap in both capacity and capability. Purpose-built to the highest standards of wildlife rehabilitation, the facility is now equipped with:

• Hot and cold running water

• Reliable power and corridor lighting

• Improved safety and comfort for carers and animals alike

Environmental responsibility was a core focus in designing and building the centre. From energy use to water access, every aspect of the facility reflects a commitment to sustainability. We hope this centre becomes more than just a place of healing — we see it as a model for future wildlife facilities across the state and beyond.
