WildTalk is providing mental health assistance to all wildlife rescuers, carers, veterinary professionals and researchers through times of illness, injury, or crisis. A network of counselling professionals is available 24/7 and free of charge.

Established in 2019, WildTalk recognises a need for specialist support the wildlife rescue and rehabilitation workers in unique ways. As such, our service is provided independently of any wildlife organisation, giving our clients the confidence to be open and candid.

Working with wildlife is a rewarding path in life. WildTalk recognises that caring about wildlife comes with a variety of unique challenges, such as grief, loss, traumatic incidents, and interpersonal difficulties. That’s why we are here to help. Anytime.

We understand the animals

We understand you.

How your donation will help

At present we receive no ongoing funding from government or animal related organisations. All our funds are private donations and from therapeutic partners Secret Keeper Counselling and Eudoxia EAP. Sadly, this doesn’t always cover the cost of our primary offering of counselling, debriefing and critical incident support. It rarely, if ever, covers support initiatives such as small grants to carers in need and advocacy.

We’re looking to raise funds to continue the work we are doing with wildlife workers and volunteers across the ACT and Australia.

Your donation will enable us to assist carers in need in the ACT.
