The Murrindindi Ranges wildlife shelter is one of the biggest and busiest wildlife rehabilitation centres in the state. We specialise in injured animals as well as taking orphans. Our lead operator Kate is a veterinary technician who works closely with several vets and has vet students do placement at the shelter. The centre needs a few key pieces of expensive equipment to improve our level of care to our patients. Especially with how difficult it is to get into local vet clinics quickly due to the worldwide shortage of vets. We need to purchase a portable xray machine which Kate is licenced to use to aid in the assessment of our patients. An oxygen concentrator and anaesthetic machine would be utilised by visiting vets to treat patients. Many of our past vet students are graduating at the end of the year and some already have. They are keen to help at the shelter along with the vets we use regularly. Spreading the load around multiple vets will help reduce the financial burden on them as many don't charge us. The last piece of equipment we need is rubber matting for the stables. This will improve traction as well as comfort.
