Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Grants Program

If you’re an eligible organisation, you can apply for a grant to deliver a call-out service for sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife.

This service must be available 7 days a week from 7am to 8pm, and must include advice, rescue and rehabilitation.

You must also follow relevant laws and guidance on care, rehabilitation and release of protected wildlife in the Northern Territory (NT).

  • maintains public liability insurance (no less than $20 million for any one occurrence).

If you're an unincorporated body, you must nominate an organisation with appropriate legal status that accepts legal and financial responsibility for the grant.
