Bat Rescue Inc.

We are a self-funded volunteer organization whose members are permitted under Queensland’s Department of Environment and Science (DES) to care for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.

When established in 2002 on the Sunshine Coast, Bat Rescue Inc. was South-East Queensland’s first and only bat-specific care group.

The aims of our organisation are:

  • To provide education and information to the general public
  • Active conservation of bats and their habitat
  • The promotion of bats as an important part of our ecology
  • The rehabilitation and release of bats back to the wild
