Some carers hold only one endorsement for a specific animal (e.g. Wombats) while other carers may have several endorsements for various animals.

SONA are always looking for new members and and welcome all enquiries, if you feel you would like to help and care for orphaned or injured wildlife you may download a membership application by clicking on the “Join SONA” tab at the top of this page.
