The Review and Report into the NSW Wildlife Rehabilitation Sector and associated Veterinary Sector (the Review) has commenced as announced on 15 May 2024 by the Hon. Penny Sharpe, Minister for Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

The Review will be led by the Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment, Ms Trish Doyle MP, and build on the work of the 2020 – 2023 NSW Wildlife Rehabilitation Sector Strategy - NSW Volunteer Wildlife Rehabilitation Sector Strategy | NSW Environment and Heritage.
