Caring for the world’s most unique and threatened species
The Wildlife Hospital is located in Dunedin, the Wildlife Capital of New Zealand.
Our veterinary team treat a wide variety of native species - hundreds each year - including parrots, penguins, reptiles, sea lions and more.
More than 75% of native species in New Zealand are threatened. Many are found nowhere else in the world.
The Wildlife Hospital has a critical role in the survival of many of these species.
The Wildlife Hospital is a registered charity, supported by the community and funders who share our vision of thriving wildlife in Aotearoa New Zealand.
A special thank you goes out to each and every person who has donated. Without you, our work would not be possible.
What we do
Our core work is the expert veterinary care of native species, with the ultimate goal of returning patients back into the wild where they belong.
The Wildlife Hospital team also delivers education for veterinary professionals, contributes to research, and engages with community on conservation efforts.
