Vets For Compassion is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit veterinary and rescue organisation set up in 2016 and based in Melbourne, Australia. A small core team of veterinary professionals, wildlife rescuers and volunteers operate an animal ambulance and respond to call-outs to provide emergency veterinary care, life-saving surgeries and on-the-spot treatment for injured wildlife, domestic pets and farm animals. They care for sick, injured and orphaned animals with rehabilitation aimed at releasing native wildlife back to the wild or re-homing domestic animals such as cats and dogs into loving homes. Their work also includes desexing programs to address overpopulation and targeted disaster response — notably bushfire recovery efforts — where they assist with rescue, treatment and rehabilitation on the ground. The organisation emphasises volunteer involvement and relies on donations to support operations, actively promoting volunteer opportunities and fundraising to expand their impact. Recent activities and ongoing projects highlight a hands-on approach to animal welfare across urban, rural and disaster-affected areas, offering urgent medical treatment, rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing services for community animals and native wildlife alike.
