The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital officially opened its doors in 2004 in memory of Steve Irwin's mother, Lyn Irwin, who was a pioneer in wildlife care in Queensland. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it is now the largest and busiest of its kind in the world, treating thousands of animals every year that come in as a result of motor vehicle strikes, habitat destruction and domestic pet attacks.
With the growing influx of injured animals admitted to the hospital daily, the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital incurs huge costs, including veterinary care, medicines, hospital equipment, feeding and rehabilitation to help save these incredible animals. All patients are treated on a no-fee basis, so donations from individuals around the globe are critical to the on-going operations of the wildlife hospital and the conservation of threatened and endangered species.
