Draft Rehabilitation Code for comment

You are invited to provide comments on the Draft Code of Practice for Injured Sick and Orphaned Protected Fauna (the Code). This document was prepared by the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) in partnership with an advisory group consisting of representatives of the NSW Wildlife Council, the RSPCA and Taronga Conservation Society.

The Code establishes a set of minimum care requirements that will help to ensure the welfare of rescued protected fauna. These requirements will apply to everyone who is authorised to temporarily hold injured, sick and orphaned protected fauna under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.
