Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s Veterans Keeper program is changing lives!

Gold Coast veterans are getting back to nature, jumping at the chance to take part in Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s dedicated Veteran’s Wildlife Studies program.

Through the Currumbin Veterans Support Centre and the Currumbin Clinic, local veterans are able to sign up for the 9-week program, which sees them go behind the scenes at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary one morning a week.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for Veterans to experience the behind-the-scenes hard work and dedication of staff as well as volunteers at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and also learn about ways they themselves can engage within their local community there.” Rachel Handley - Wellbeing Advocate, Currumbin Veteran Support Centre

“We are honoured to be part of this unique program, and the feedback we have received from the Veterans themselves has been amazing, for some it has really changed their lives. Following the program some Veterans have even shown interest in becoming volunteers at the Sanctuary.” Anthony Molyneux - Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Life Sciences Manager.
