About Us

WISE is an organisation formed to assist in the rehabilitation and safe release of native wildlife where interaction with humans has resulted in injury or damage to habitat.
 
The Trust is engaged in providing suitable care and habitat by re-vegetation of areas to provide natural food sources and housing for their release.
 
The Trust was founded by renowned animal welfare advocate Ninon Phillips in 1991 and functions in accordance with the Wildlife Act.
