An embargoed story about a new wildlife hospital for Byron Bay was mistakenly published in The Echo newspaper on May 27, 2020.

Crowdfunding for the fully equipped custom-built mobile hospital, will officially launched on June 3, 2020.

Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital Ltd CEO and founder, Dr Stephen Van Mil, said, ‘Australia’s bushfire crisis killed one billion native animals and highlighted the massive gap in facilities to rescue, treat and rehabilitate injured wildlife throughout the country’.

The mobile hospital is scheduled to be operational by September.
