Wildlife Rescue

DID YOU KNOW?

Saving used Air-Assisted Transfer Mats from the bin can save the day for Australia’s wildest patients, their rescuers and carers.

Across the country, Haines^® single patient use Air-Assisted Transfer Mats are being given a second life in helping wildlife rescuers treat and transport injured native animals.

The Gift Project, headed by Sarah Hart, connects hospitals with wildlife rescuers across Australia.

There are over 20,000 carers across Australia and sadly, the vast majority of Air-Assisted Transfer Mats are being thrown away. To change that, we need your help.
