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.

I absolutely loved my stay here! I really enjoyed the work and getting to know the animals. The 30 minute walk to dayboro is worth it, with beautiful artwork everywhere you look. I was fortunate enough to be staying with some really amazing people that made my time here unforgettable. Brad is a caring and kind person who is very knowledgeable and dedicated to his work. The only problem I had was the dirty living conditions. Ants, mice, mold, and cobwebs covering the walls and ceiling. I did what I could to clean up but definitely needs a deep cleaning with more supplies then what we had.

My time at Farm Animal Rescue was a beautiful experience that allowed me to connect with nature and animals!

You will be staying with your fellow volunteers in your own farmhouse, which the volunteers are in charge of cleaning etc.

In regards to the work, its beneficial to be a fast learner, hard-working, adaptable, and efficient.
Volunteering here requires you to be ready for long days with tough and dirty work, sometimes in bad weather.

Lastly, its important that you’re mature and ready to take on a lot of responsibility - the volunteers are even in charge of training new staff.

It was great having you on the farm Jaqueline. You were very committed to the well-being of the animals and always willing to do extra to ensure that they were well and cared for. You fitted in so very well with the group and your positive and upbeat manner was great to be around. All the best for your future opportunities, stay in touch!

The farmstay was a great experience and we absolutely enjoyed being part of the animal sanctuary! We really appreciate Brad's engagement and his passion for all the animals and what he's doing. You get a lot of responsibility and take care of the animals and the farm with the other volunteers who are training you. It is definitely hard work but also rewarding and meaningful. Also you get cozy evenings together with the other volunteers.

This was an incredible experience and I couldn’t recommend it enough! The work is physically and mentally challenging, there’s lots to learn and sometimes can be stressful, but it was so rewarding. Brad really cares about all the animals, and it’s so nice to see how happy and free they are. I also met some amazing volunteers, and really enjoyed spending our evenings together in the accommodation. This is a truly special place for both animals and animal lovers.

I had the best time at the sanctuary and I was really sad that I had to leave after three months of staying there. Brad really gives those animals an amazing life and does everything in his power to make their lives incredible. The days can be long and exhausting but seeing the animals happy makes it worth it every single day. I learnt a lot about the life farm animals usually get to live and I also got to be there for all sorts of medical treatment. The animals and the volounteers will always have a special place in my heart and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in animals!
