Permits

All native wildlife is protected in the NT.

To care for sick, injured or orphaned wildlife in the NT, you must have a wildlife carer's permit. This does not allow you to keep wildlife permanently.

For each animal that comes into care you must fill in a wildlife report / application for release form.
