Welcome to
AUSTRALIAN RAPTOR CARE
AND CONSERVATION INC.
We strive to advance and exchange knowledge of Australian birds of prey to improve their successful rehabilitation and release back to the wild.
INCORPORATION STATEMENT (2014)
As Australians, we care about our environment and its indigenous fauna. Our primary aim is to have a positive impact on raptor rehabilitation and release techniques utilised by wildlife carers. The ultimate aim is to maximise survival rates post release.
This is a unique organisation that has identified a gap currently existing in Australian raptor rehabilitation practices. Through collaborative engagement with raptor rehabilitators we aim to demonstrate and develop best care practices and how flying strength and endurance can be regained in a facility such as ours.
Members of the founding committee of ARCC Inc. have relevant and essential experience to implement this project including veterinarians, raptor carers who have studied at Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, ornithologists and those with a passion to see Australia move towards the forefront of raptor care.

Our Projects
Tracking
Rehabilitate, release, track. We track released birds via satellite for evidence-based insights into survival, range, and dispersal.
Book
We are working with experts to develop and publish a book on all aspects of raptor rehabilitation. Find out more about this exciting project.
Since being incorporated in 2014, ARCC Inc. has strived to be a central hub for those involved in any aspect of raptor rehabilitation and conservation, and to contribute and share their knowledge and experience. Our mission is to raise the standards of raptor rehabilitation to match the international gold standard.
