Gather. Give. Save lives.
Start your day saving wildlife
Join us this September, and host a morning tea, breakfast or gathering to help raise funds to save wild lives.
Whether you're at home, work, school, your local café, sporting club or gathering with neighbours, every cuppa shared and dollars raised helps provide lifesaving care for sick, injured and orphaned Aussie native animals.
As we wake up and enjoy our morning coffee, dedicated WIRES Wildlife Rescuers are already responding to emergency calls, rescuing injured animals and caring for our unique wildlife.
Host a Wake Up for Wildlife event this September and help give Australia's wildlife in need the second chance of life in the wild.

How to bank your funds
however you wake up, wake up for wildlife
Wake up... at home
One of the easiest ways to get involved is to host a Wake Up for Wildlife morning tea in the comfort of your own home.
Instead of bringing a plate, ask your guests to make a donation to help rescue and protect Aussie wildlife. It's a simple way to enjoy good company while making a real difference for Aussie wildlife in need.
wake up...and host
wake up... and BBQ
Gather your mates and fire up the barbie for a Wake up for Wildlife breakfast. Throw on some eggs, veggies and your favourite treats, then ask your guests to make a donation instead of paying for breakfast at a cafe.
It's a simple way to have an awesome morning with friends and help our Aussie animals.
wake up...and pancake
Who can resist a stack of fluffy pancakes? Host a Wake Up for Wildlife pancake breakfast and bring your crew together for a delicious morning.
Whip up your favourite pancake recipe,or try one of our special WIRES supporter recipes.
Ask your guests to make a donation instead of paying for breakfast out. Remember it takes $30 to answer one urgent rescue call!
wake up...and smoothie
Looking for a fresh twist on the traditional morning tea? Host a Smoothie Hour instead!
Dust off the blender and whip up delicious smoothies packed with fresh fruit, protein, yoghurt or your favourite healthy ingredients. Then invite your mates to donate what they'd normally spend on a smoothie from their local café.
It's a fun, healthy way to catch up while helping rescue and protect Aussie wildlife.
wake up...at work
There's no better place to host a Wake Up for Wildlife breakfast than your workplace! Give your team a reason to step away from their desks, enjoy a yummy morning treat and connect with colleagues.
Whether your workplace shouts breakfast for the team or an employee takes the lead, invite everyone to make a donation to help rescue and protect Aussie wildlife. It's a simple way to bring people together while making a meaningful difference.
wake up... OUTDOORS
There's no better way in Spring but to get out early in the morning and have your breakkie outdoors with mates. Whether, it's by the ocean, the bush, a park or curbside. There's something about a sunrise gathering with a cuppa and friends.
wake up...and run
Gather your friends, family or colleagues and set a running challenge that suits your group. Whether it's a 5km, 10km or a month-long running goal, keep each other motivated as you work towards the finish line. Share your page and ask your friends and family to sponsor you on the challenge.
Once you've completed your run, celebrate with a well-earned Wake Up for Wildlife morning tea.
wake up...your way
Can't host a morning tea? No problem! Whether it's a long lunch on the deck, a relaxed dinner party or a weekend brunch, every gathering can help make a difference for Aussie wildlife.
Ask your tribe to make a donation instead of paying for a meal out.
