Join the Kanyana volunteer staff

Volunteering a regular part of your week at the Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is one of the most personally rewarding things you can do with your time.

Learn valuable lifeskills and help the environment around you at the same time. Discover the beauty of our native fauna and help ensure they will still be here for future generations.

If you are far away from our Western Australian hospital, you can still help Kanyana save wildlife in many other ways. And remember; we always welcome overseas volunteers.
