Hi all,
I am the register head for reptiles with Wildlife Rescue group ONARR. We are in desperate need of carers for all types of reptiles, and occasionally, frogs.
If you live in the SE QLD area and are interested in becoming a carer, please visit the ONARR website for information on joining.
Carers are volunteers, there is no monetary gain.
You do have to pay a small amount for membership, ($20 I think) but this will cover you under the ONARR rehabilitation permit.
We are aware that people have lives and cannot always carry out a rescue, but the more members we have, the more options I have to get the animal in care. At this point, I don't have enough people willing to take reptiles and many are being left to suffer.
You will be required to pick up the animal if you are able to, and provide a safe, secure temporary home and treatment. You should have access to a vet who is capable with reptiles.
Even if you are able to pick up an animal and hold onto it until another carer can take it over, your help is needed.
The EPA require each animal in care to be registered, which you do by contacting me.
There is minimal paperwork involved, much like our recreational log books. And I am always available to phone for help.
We are also happy to take on anyone looking to become a carer for birds, kangaroos, possums, bats and gliders.
NOTE: A rehabilitation permit does NOT allow you to move reptiles, such as a snake catcher does. Injured animals only can be moved.

I am not online very much but if you have any questions, you can call me on 0404226001.
Cheers,
Shaz
