At WA Wildlife, we offer a wide range of engaging and informative experiences for students of all ages. One of the highlights of our education programs is the WA Wildlife Hospital. The Hospital is a purpose built facility that provides critical care to injured and sick wildlife from across Western Australia.

We offer educational tours of the Hospital, which provide a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible work our staff do to save the lives of wildlife in need. Our educational tours are led by experienced wildlife experts who will guide students through the Hospital and explain the various treatments and procedures used to care for injured and sick wildlife. Students have the opportunity to see animals from behind sound proof viewing windows and learn about their stories and the challenges faced in the wild. Our tours are perfect for anyone interested in wildlife conservation and animal welfare, and they offer a unique and unforgettable educational experience for all students.

In addition to our Hospital tours, we also offer a wide range of hands-on education programs for schools, community groups and corporate groups. Our experienced staff will provide an unforgettable educational experience that will inspire and inform.

Participants have the opportunity to interact with amazing wildlife, including wombats, dingos, emus, birds, and reptiles, and learn about their behaviours, habitats, and conservation needs. Our programs are designed to be both informative and fun, allowing participants to get up close and personal with some of Australia’s most iconic animals.

Please note: Our education programs are intended to educate the public about the needs of native wildlife. The welfare of all animals at WA Wildlife are our top priority. We adopt an ethical approach to all our educational tours and programs with all funds raised supporting our rescue, treatment, and rehabilitation programs.

Incursions provide a unique and exciting way to teach students about the importance of protecting the environment?

Our experienced educators are passionate about inspiring the next generation of environmentalists and will bring a variety of amazing animals, including birds, reptiles, and mammals, to the classroom. Not only will students learn about the animals themselves, but they’ll gain a deeper understanding of the vital role they play in our ecosystem and how we can work together to protect them.

We understand that every class is unique, which is why our incursions can be tailored to suit the needs of students. Whether a hands-on experience, a more traditional classroom lesson, or something in between is required, we’ll work together to create a session that meets the specific requirements.

And while we can’t guarantee that all of our resident animals will be able to travel to schools, we promise that students will have a blast meeting and learning about the ones that do. From cuddly mammals to slithery snakes, we have a wide range of animals that are sure to captivate and excite students.

Book one of our incursions today and give students an unforgettable lesson in environmental education. With our experienced educators, amazing animals, and tailored sessions, we’re confident that students will leave feeling inspired and empowered to make a difference in our world.
