About Us

Picture
The National Wildlife Rehabilitation Conferences have been running in Australia since 2003. A group of like-minded people who had been involved with organising conferences had been collaborating over the past 5 or 6 years to make life easier for future conference organisers by sharing their experiences and offering their help if required.
In 2010 these people formed the core of  the AWRC, partly to continue this work in a more formal manner, but also to ensure transparency, accountability and management for the conference funds between conferences.  The committee was officially incorporated in October 2010. As members reside in different states, meetings are held by teleconference.

Who we are

The 2013 committee is:
  • Chairperson: Marg Peachey (ACT)
  • Secretary: Eleanor Pollock (Qld)
  • Treasurer:  Denise Garratt (Vic)
  • Assistant Treasurer: Greg Gordon (Vic)
  • Dianne Hunter (WA)
  • Stephanie Clark (Tas)
  • Oma Rogers (Tas
  • Pauline Pavey (NT)
  • Kerry Colmer (SA)
  • Clare Baldwin (Qld)

What we do

The committee is now a non-profit association dedicated solely to supporting the Australian Wildlife Conferences. Our roles are to:
  • Encourage and facilitate the organisation of regular national wildlife rehabilitation conferences around Australia
  • Provide if requested, operational support to conference organising committees
  • Administer conference funds, including the interest-free  "rolling loan" to conference organising committees
  • Maintain the conference website between conferences, and  disseminate conference information through the website
We are dedicated to the continuation of the biennial wildlife rehabilitation conferences. Each conference has added something new and special to the overall experience. This ongoing collaboration has helped continuously improve the quality, integrity and overall experience of the conference for wildlife carers.
