Wildlife shelter operators and foster carers are now able to apply for the 2023 Wildlife Rehabilitator Grants, with funding up to $3000 available.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas announced the grant opening on August 11, which will help volunteer wildlife rehabilitators continue to care for native animals.
Ms Thomas said the grants provide important support for volunteers across Victoria.
“These grants are about helping the many dedicated volunteers who house, feed and care for our precious wildlife when they need it most,” she said.
More than 100 wildlife carers and shelters across Victoria received the grants last year, which helped fund wildlife enclosures, medication, feed, rescue equipment and veterinary fees.
Applications close on September 15, at 3.30pm.
