Northern Tablelands Wildlife Carers is a network of trained volunteers who rescue, rehabilitate and release native wildlife and are licensed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Northern Tablelands Wildlife Carers (NTWC) Incorporated was formed in 1993 by a small group of dedicated local wildlife carers. It was formed to assist with the rescue, rehabilitation and release of orphaned, injured or misplaced native animals across the Northern Tablelands area.

The organisation aims to:

• rescue and rehabilitate native animals across the Northern Tablelands region
• form a strong local support network of skilled wildlife carers and interested members
• raise funds to help carers meet veterinary, feeding costs and administration costs, and
•  work with landholders in the wider areas of education, research, habitat, revegetation and release sites.

Meetings are held quarterly at different venues in the New England area, usually in Armidale, or Glen Innes.
