WildHaven North Queensland Wildlife Hospital

This is Streuth the frilled neck lizard 🦎

A member of the public found him next to the road, presumably hit by a car.

He was transferred to NQ Wildlife Care who examined him and found substantial bruising around his face. He was unable to open his right eye or his mouth.

The concern was jaw fractures, so he was taken for a radiograph at Greencross Vets Aitkenvale (legends) with WildHaven’s Dr Taleta. Great news: no fractures! And how cool are his X-rays? Just soft tissue injuries and a big headache for Streuth. Even better news, he is recovering well with supportive care. His eye is open and he is opening his mouth again! 💚

We are so close to opening the doors at WildHaven, and we can’t wait to start caring for wildlife just like Streuth.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has joined the WildHaven 5000. For just $2 a week, you’re helping us treat injured and sick wildlife right here in North Queensland.

Thank you for your support Townsville Bulletin!!

It costs less than a cup of coffee a week to help save thousands of native animals a year – and NQ’s first dedicated wildlife hospital is counting on 5000 locals to do just that. 🐸🦅 See how to help. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4s8lg8q

🦘🐨 25 DAYS TO GO! 🐢🦉

In just 25 days, on 12 November 2026, WildHaven officially opens its doors, and North Queensland’s injured, sick and orphaned wildlife will finally have a first if its kind dedicated hospital of their own. 💚

Our vets and nursing team will have access to theatre, imaging, emergency and intensive care, and we’ll be ready to receive wildlife. Whether it’s a koala hit on the road, a turtle tangled in fishing line or a joey found in mum’s pouch, WildHaven will be here to support the community and the wonderful rescue and carer networks in our region.

But we can’t do it alone. 🙏

We’re calling on Townsville to join the WILDHAVEN 5000: 5,000 Queenslanders giving just $2 a week to keep our doors open and our wildlife cared for. That’s less than a coffee, and together it adds up to a hospital that saves lives every single day.

👉 Join the WildHaven 5000 today: https://the-wildhaven-5000.raiselysite.com/

Be part of the story from day one. Sign up, share this post, and tag a friend who loves our wildlife as much as you do! 🐾

🐸🐍🦅 Scales, feathers or slime - every patient deserves expert care.

WildHaven Director Dr Taleta Hompas has been treating wildlife ahead of our opening, with thanks to Greencross Vets Aitkenvale for their support.

WildHaven North Queensland Wildlife Hospital opens its doors right here in Townsville on 12 November, so every injured native animal has somewhere to go.

We’re looking for 5,000 North Queenslanders to give $2 a week. Less than a coffee, and together it keeps a wildlife hospital running. Please join the WildHaven 5000 and help us open strong.......

🎉 THANK YOU, Townsville! 🎉

Our Charity Ball raised $13,521.37 for WildHaven in one night! 🦘🐨🦉

98 wonderful guests joined us for a night to remember, and our raffle and auction went off. Your generosity means that when we open our doors on November 12 - we will be able to provide veterinary treatment to the native animals that need urgent and critical care from day one.

A huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, dug deep in the raffle and auction, donated prizes, sponsored the night and volunteered their time. You made a real difference for our wildlife.

We couldn't do this without you. 💚

Introducing the WildHaven 5000 🐨💚

Every week across North Queensland, native animals are hit by cars, caught in fences, attacked by pets or left injured after storms. Unlike our pets, they have no one to call and no one to pay the vet bill.

That's why WildHaven exists. And that's why we need you.

We're looking for 5,000 North Queenslander's to give $2 a week.

That's it. $2 a week, billed as $8.67 a month. Pause or cancel anytime.

5,000 people giving $2 a week adds up to more than half a million dollars a year in steady, reliable funding. That's what lets us plan, staff and treat wildlife properly, instead of lurching from one appeal to the next.

Meet Cookie (pictured) the cutest Brahminy Kite chick - learn more about Cookie's rescue, treatment and recovery in the link below.

Can't give right now? A share helps just as much. Every one of the 5,000 has to hear about it from someone.

A huge thank you to Townsville Grammar School - Annandale Campus for raising $690.95 for WildHaven Wildlife Hospital! 💚

To the students who put their energy into fundraising, the parents who supported them, and the school community who got behind the effort: thank you. Your kindness means so much as we prepare to open a dedicated wildlife hospital for North Queensland.

We’re grateful to have our community standing alongside us for the wildlife in our care. 🐨🦎🦜
