Australia Zoo Rescue Unit Channel

The Australia Zoo Rescue Unit is carrying on the passion and legacy that Steve Irwin started.
This amazing crew work to rescue injured or trapped wildlife every day of the week. From Turtles to skinks the Rescue Unit travels sometimes 100s of kilometres every day to rescue injured animals.
The Australia Zoo Rescue Unit channel will introduce some amazing animals rescued and some not so lucky. Through this channel the Australia Zoo Rescue Unit wishes to raise the awareness of the effect humans are having on the animals and the environment.
The majority of the rescues are taken back to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Australian Wildlife Hospital. In other cases animals are taken to carers to care for and rehabilitate the animals.
Together we can keep Steve's dream alive.

  • Service provided by Australia Zoo to the Australian Wildlife Hospital
  • The Zoo employs 6 staff and 2 cars everyday JUST for wildlife rescue
  • We rescue everything from Blue Tongue Lizards to large marine mammals and Kangaroos!
  • We rescue many Koalas that have been hit by cars and attacked by dogs, and we also provide emergency transport for these animals to the wildlife hospital
  • We travel from the Gold Coast all the way to Bundaberg, and in to Esk and Blackbutt - but of course we will travel anywhere to rescue wildlife!
  • We specialise in high risk/dangerous rescues such as hit by car kangaroos on highways, marine life, reptiles and venomous snakes, and of course Koalas up the highest trees.
