Humanitarian Aid
Lead by the Irwin family, Australia Zoo is paving the way in conservation around the world. But our efforts don't stop there. Our ongoing commitment to making a difference across the entire planet extends beyond wildlife and its habitat, to humans, whose charge it is to protect earth’s precious environment forever.
Through-out their lifetime, striving to protect animals, Steve and Terri discovered that severe destruction of wildlife and their habitat often occurs in places where human suffering is so intense, that there can be no possibility of compassion for other species.
Australia Zoo's dedication to helping people from around the world runs parallel to our mission of conservation through education.
The Irwin family and Australia Zoo are dedicated to granting the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. Since 1994, we have worked closely with charity organisations such as the Make-a-Wish and the Starlight Foundation to brighten the lives of these special children and their entire families.
Rotary is a worldwide organisation comprised of business and professional leaders who are working together to address various community and international service needs. Their aim is to promote peace and understanding throughout the world.
Each year in October, Australia Zoo hosts the Red Cross Mobile Blood Bank to aid in the collection of much needed blood. To encourage everyone in the community to donate, we tie this event in with our high-profile October promotion day, Halloween on October 31!
