Wildlife Permit Endorsement Application

BatsQLD (Flying Foxes & Microbats) Inc.

I hereby request that an annual Rehabilitation/Rescue Permit Endorsement be issued to me. I understand that the conditions of the Permit Endorsement are as follows:

General Conditions

I must have adequate housing facilities and equipment to care for the Flying Fox or Microbat that I will be rehabilitating in accordance with the Code of Practice – Care and rehabilitation of orphaned, sick and injured protected animals by wildlife care volunteers (“Code of Practice”) under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and/or as listed in the relevant training material provided by BatsQLD.
I must have completed a relevant training workshop.
I must undergo vaccination against the Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) and maintain satisfactory titre levels in accordance with Clause 4.2(i) of the Code of Practice. I understand that BatsQLD takes no responsibility for ensuring I am sufficiently protected against the Australian Bat Lyssavirus.
I must maintain and submit weekly Rescue/Carer Records and I confirm that I have no Rescue/Carer Records currently outstanding.
I understand and acknowledge that the decision on this application by the BatsQLD Executive Committee is based on my completed training, experience, knowledge, facilities and the demand for rehabilitators in the region I reside.
Should I require a Permit Endorsement for an increased number of animals, I must make application to BatsQLD and explain the need to have my Permit increased.
I agree to the BatsQLD Executive Committee discussing my application with Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP), the RSPCA (Queensland), and/or other relevant wildlife organisations which I may work with (e.g. Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, Currumbin Wildlife Hospital or other wildlife care groups to which I am/have been a member).
