Bring Faster Wildlife Rescue Response to Your Community
Help establish local Kangalert coverage so wildlife strike reports can reach nearby rescuers who are ready to respond.
A Stronger Local Network for Injured Wildlife
When Kangalert is available in your area, community members can quickly report wildlife strikes with a precise location, animal details and helpful notes. Those reports create a clearer picture of where animals are being hurt and help local rescue teams identify incidents sooner—giving injured wildlife, including dependent joeys, a better chance of receiving timely care.
Make Every Sighting Count
A practical reporting pathway gives drivers, residents and passers-by something meaningful to do when they encounter injured wildlife. Instead of wondering who to contact, they can share the essential details that rescuers need to assess the situation and plan a response.
Connect Reports with Local Expertise
Regional coverage helps put reports in front of approved wildlife rescuers familiar with local roads, habitats, species and access points. That local knowledge can make it easier to prioritise incidents and reach animals efficiently.
Tell Us About Your Area
To express interest, share your town, suburbs or postcodes, the wildlife rescue groups operating nearby, and any local roads or areas where strikes are common. The more context your community can provide, the better we can understand the need for regional coverage.

Build Stronger Local Wildlife Response
Shared Incident Mapping
Give your community a clear, shared view of wildlife incidents so nearby rescuers can locate reports quickly and identify areas needing attention.
Better Details, Better Decisions
Structured reporting captures animal type, condition, size, joey presence and helpful notes, giving rescuers the context they need before responding.
Coordinated Service Areas
Local rescue partners can define the suburbs and postcodes they cover, helping reports reach the right people and supporting practical regional coverage.
Visible Progress & Insights
Status updates show whether an incident is new, active or resolved, while response insights help communities understand local wildlife risks and needs.

Stronger Local Responses Start With Shared Information
“Our residents often want to help but do not know who to call after seeing an injured animal. A shared reporting system gives them a clear, practical way to send the location and details to the people who can respond.”
Community Wildlife Advocate
Regional NSW
“When reports are visible in one place, nearby rescuers can identify incidents sooner, avoid duplicated call-outs and focus on getting help to wildlife as quickly as possible. It strengthens the whole local rescue network.”

Regional Coverage Questions
Who can request Kangalert coverage for a new area?
Anyone with a connection to the community can register interest, including residents, wildlife carers, rescue organisations, councils, landcare groups and local road safety advocates. The most helpful requests include local contacts and a clear picture of where coverage is needed.
What does community participation involve?
Participation can be as simple as sharing the service with local residents and helping identify wildlife strike hotspots. Communities may also connect Kangalert with nearby rescuers, organisations and volunteers who can help build an informed, coordinated local network.
How are nearby wildlife rescuers connected to reports?
Approved rescuers can set up a profile with their organisation details and service areas, such as suburbs or postcodes. They can then view relevant incidents, claim reports they are attending and update outcomes so the local response stays clearer for everyone involved.
What information should we include in an expression of interest?
Please include the proposed region, towns or postcodes, common strike locations, local rescue contacts, estimated report volume and any difficulties your community currently faces when coordinating wildlife incidents. The more local context you can provide, the better.
What happens after we submit an expression of interest?
The Kangalert team reviews the information to understand local need, potential rescue connections and coverage priorities. If the area is suitable for expansion, the next steps may include contacting local organisations, confirming service boundaries and planning how to support participation in the region.
