Wildlife Emergency app for fire season

The Wildlife Emergency app provides a straightforward way to report wildlife impacted by fire in Victoria to DEECA.

You can submit reports over the fire season by providing basic information on location, suspected injury and species identified in addition to adding photographs (if appropriate).

If your device is not connected to the internet, you can still create a report and will be prompted to submit it when your device has an internet connection.

The Wildlife Emergency app can be download from Apple Store or Google Play.
