Meet our People

Located in Bundanoon, NSW, adjacent to the diverse ecosystems of Morton National Park, the Southern Highlands Wildlife Sanctuary (SHWS) builds on the legacy of esteemed wildlife carer John Creighton and operates as a locally established non-for-profit organisation dedicated to the research, care, rehabilitation and conservation of native Australian wildlife.

Guided by a knowledgeable, volunteer-based board, SHWS is comprised of educators, conservationists, researchers, and community members who share a commitment to safeguarding native species and restoring resilient ecosystems. The sanctuary partners with universities, educational institutions, local entities, and national organisations to foster an environment where both people and wildlife can coexist and flourish.
