b) To provide an avenue for members to gain knowledge and expertise in the handling, veterinary care and rehabilitation of native Australian wildlife, as well as exotic non-domestic species.
c) To broaden and encourage a wider knowledge of wildlife medicine within the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at Murdoch University, and also the wider community.
d) To promote the preservation of Australian native species.
e) To foster and promote public appreciation of the role veterinarians play in conservation biology.
f) To compile a contact base through which individual members and affiliated organisations can gain extra-curricular experience in the area of wildlife medicine and conservation biology.
