Farm Animal Rescue

Learn about animals that have been rescued from commercial food industry. We practice individual animal care and not herd health such as you would find in industry.

The farm is located in a village that has no public transport. The village is one mile away
(25 minute walk) and has a grocery store, cafes, post office and pub. Woolworths deliver groceries to the farm.

There is a swimming pool at the sanctuary and lots of attractive outdoor spots for reading or communing with the animals.

Volunteers share a two bedroom bungalow with other volunteers. Our volunteers are absolutely committed to the well-being of the sanctuary animals and whatever the animals need to be healthy and happy. Work is 3.5 days a week, a full day includes dawn and dusk. There are multiple extended breaks throughout the day between tasks. Training typically takes around two weeks through a managed process that lets you slowly become familiar with all of the different jobs. Work is dirty, tiring, and involves a lot of poo. Volunteers must be able to lift 25 kgs and must be cautiously confident around large animals. You will generally work in a team of two.

Our time at the farm was amazing!

Working with these animals is really special, once you get to know them you see the different characters and understand that they are not just some farm animals but real individuals with needs and emotions!
You can see that Brad truly cares for them and gives his absolute best to provide them the best time possible.

The Bungalow is really cozy, not luxurious but you have everything you need to make yourself comfortable. The work is really nice and rewarding but it can get really exhausting, dirty and hot too so be aware of that!
We really enjoyed it here!

I really had an amazing experience at the Farm. The work was sometimes physical challenging, especially in the heat, and you get super dirty, but I really enjoyed it. It was so wonderful to see all the animals there, now living the good life they deserve, it really makes you happy. Brad is also really kind and fair. He made us feel welcome right away.
Everyone there is very nice, and we met some lovely people. You live with the other volunteers in your own bungalow, it’s super cozy!
We definitely plan to come back, it was an incredible experience and we felt very much at home :))

It was definitely hard work, but absolutely worth it! You’re surrounded by stunning nature and wonderful animals, and you learn so much about them. Saying goodbye after a month was truly hard – it was an amazing experience that I would do again anytime!!🌞🌾

•Loved working with the animals, very special experience
•Other volunteers were kind and supportive
•Organisation clearly passionate about rescuing/rehabilitating animals
(-):
•Daily schedule very demanding, breaks inconsistent
•Limited training/support, volunteers expected to train new arrivals
•Living conditions difficult (small, messy, mold, mice, few cleaning supplies)
•Constant messages made it stressful, hard to relax
•Overall vibe became negative as many felt unhappy

I admire the mission for the animals, but the program would benefit from better organisation etc

The animals live their best life and it feels so fulfilling to contribute to that- Brad is fair and considerate regarding your hours.

You will get the chance to see wildlife in the area, including wallabies, birds, snakes and spiders! The work isn’t easy and you need to learn quickly and efficiently- other volunteers train you, which can make things a bit confusing sometimes.

I loved living with the other volunteers, we had such fun evenings together. The volunteer bungalow is not in the best condition anymore but that’s okay, it’s a farm ;) I’ll definitely come back and am so thankful! 🐑👒
