Every piece of equipment you fund brings us closer to opening day.
Naming rights$48,850
Radincon RAD-X HF Premier Vet X-ray System. Most wildlife arrives after a car strike, a fall or a dog attack. This X-ray suite reveals broken bones and internal injuries in seconds, so our vets can treat with confidence instead of guessing.
Naming rights$60,900
Radincon RAD-X DR CX3A 702C Mobile Radiology System. A wheeled digital imaging station that comes to the animal, so a stressed koala or injured raptor can be scanned where it lies, with images on screen almost instantly.
Naming rights$41,000
GE ultrasound machine. A gentle, radiation-free look inside — checking for internal bleeding, pregnancy, fluid on the lungs and organ damage without a single incision.
Plaque recognition$6,999
Mindray multiparameter monitor. Tracks heart rate, breathing, oxygen and blood pressure through every anaesthetic, alerting the team the moment a patient starts to slip.
Plaque recognition$8,400
Stainless steel V-top veterinary operating table. The V shape cradles animals of wildly different shapes — from a turtle to a wallaby — keeping them stable and correctly positioned during surgery.
Plaque recognition$9,750
Three-pod LED surgical ceiling light. Shadow-free, cool light over the operating field so surgeons can see fine bones, nerves and blood vessels clearly during delicate repairs.
Digital recognition$762
Platform weighing scales. Every drug dose and fluid rate is calculated by weight, so accurate weights for larger patients like kangaroos and wallabies are a matter of life and death.
Digital recognition$235
Bench top weighing scales. Precise weights for the tiny ones — possums, gliders, hatchlings and pinkies — where a few grams changes the entire treatment plan.
Digital recognition$100
Clinical veterinary stethoscope. The first check on every intake: heart, lungs and gut sounds tell our vets how much fight a patient has left.
Digital recognition$500
Single drawer stainless steel instrument trolley. Keeps sterile instruments, drugs and dressings within arm's reach of the surgeon — no wasted seconds mid-procedure.
Digital recognition$500
Vetario portable humidicrib / ICU cage (small). A warm, humidity-controlled intensive care unit for orphans and critical patients too fragile to hold their own body temperature.
During hot weather, we can all work together to help Moreton Bay’s native wildlife. Small actions such as providing fresh water, shade and safe places to rest can make a meaningful difference.
