"Kind & knowledgeable service providers"

The first call I made redirected me to SOWFI and the advice I received was excellent. I'm very grateful to all the people who donate their time to such an important cause, and I hope to assist in the future.

"Thank You, SOWFI!"

Thank you so much for being there to care for our wildlife and for us humans who find frightened wildlife babies and don't know how to care for them. Few other doors or phone lines were open in the early dark hours of the morning. I'm so grateful for your help and for the work you do.

"Thank you for being there"

So glad you were available to call. Your volunteers are seriously caring and knowledgeable about what to do. Thank you 🙏

"Sowfi"

Came across injured kangaroo broken let result of car called sowfi and the lady was very helpful told her where and she then organised help for the poor little fella sadly he had to be put down at least he didn't suffer for long sowfi is a volunteer run place that is very professional thank you

"Excellent organisation"

Excellent organisation. Called for advice - brilliant response - end result was a safe native animal. Thank you.

"I had great service"

I had great service. I wanted to ring about a bird that was bobbing about the yard but rang the koala line by mistake. They popped me onto a lovely woman who gave me advice on what to do. She also encouraged me to call back anytime as they are a 24 hour service.

"Possums in the house"

I have possums and I found the advice very practical, informative and dedicated. I called on a Sunday and was able to get a hold of someone who could give me realistic expectations. Thank you.

"Amazing people"

Cannot thank these beautiful volunteers enough. After locating a poor, scared possum under our dog’s kennel, a call to the SOWFI got me online with one of the nicest volunteers, who helped reassure me that I’d already done a great job and guided me through the next steps. Happy to say the little guy has decided to vacate his brief home and is back in his rightful spot!

"Great advice and support for injured or sick wildlife"

Found an injured baby possum and after trying several rescue sites and being on hold, SOWFI answered immediately. Gave sound advice on how to manage situation and provided name of nearest vet registered with them to accept wildlife as emergencies. Volunteer I spoke to also told me to notify vet that they could call SOWFI if animal needed a carer and they would find one for it. Great assistance as distressing not to be able to help an injured or sick animal quickly when you find one.

"Duck rescue"

The volunteer on the phone Debra was very helpful when I rang re a shelduck that was in our yard. She contacted a duck expert and gave me good advice.
I took the duck to the vet but unfortunately they had to euthanasia it.
