Our Projects
Kangaroo Sanctuary
For as long as Rose has been caring for wildlife, she has nurtured a profound dream—a vision of a sanctuary where orphaned and injured animals, who cannot be released back into the wild, could find solace, heal, and thrive in a safe environment.
This dream, long cherished and ardently pursued, has finally come to fruition with our major project this year - the Rose Brooks Wildlife Sanctuary.
Possum Palaces
We are thrilled to share the success of the Possum Palace project, a transformative initiative that has significantly enhanced the Barossa Wildlife Rescue headquarters. Funded by a generous grant from Bank Australia and sponsorship funds from Barossa Co-op, the Possum Palace represents a major leap forward in our mission to provide the highest standard of care for our rescued wildlife.
