Wildlife Warning on Our Roads

As collisions with animals on Victorian roads continue to rise, RACV and Zoos Victoria's partnership has never been more important, through the Wildlife Connect 13 11 11 service.

Name our new baby Platypus

Healesville Sanctuary is thrilled to announce the arrival of a new baby Platypus who poked his head out for the first time on Valentine's Day. Help us name him!
The winner will receive a family pass to Healesville Sanctuary and a behind-the-scenes experience to meet the new baby Platypus.

Remembering Black Saturday

Healesville Sanctuary will mark the Black Saturday anniversary with one minute's silence on Sunday at noon.

Visitors will also be invited to wear a yellow ribbon which will be available at the Sanctuary this weekend, courtesy of Spotlight.

ARAZPA Conference

Zoos Victoria is proud to be hosting the 2010 ARAZPA (Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks & Aquaria ) conference in Healesville and supporting the Yarra Valley tourism industry following the devastating fires of February 2009. The conference will primarily be held at the recently renovated RACV club, along with tours at Healesville Sanctuary and optional Yarra Valley experiences.
