Shoalhaven Bat Clinic and Sanctuary

The aim of the Shoalhaven Bat Clinic is to rescue and rehabilitate both Microbats and Megabats and to provide training to carers and to educate members of the public.

All our carers are vaccinated and specially trained in rescue and rehabilitation.

The facility has a purposely built bat clinic which houses a kitchen and coolroom and can accommodate up to several hundred bats.

The 60' flight aviary houses humidifiers, heating and lights. 3 hospital aviaries can accommodate up to 20 bats each. These aviaries also have heating.

The Clinic has an off site release cage in the local vicinity and hopes to have another for the coming season.

Microbats are catered for with a small outdoor avairy and several indoor flight cages.

Non vaccinated Volunteers are always required as each day up 35 kilos of fruit is cut in the off season. There is also a need for clerical assistance, i.e. data entry, record keeping and facility cleaners.

The Shoalhaven Bat Clinic operates under Wildlife Rescue South Coast's license. This license is issued by NPWS.
