Objectives 

The objects of TORRN are to conserve native turtles by:

  • Co-ordinating the rescue, rehabilitation release of turtles affected and displaced by habitat loss.
  • Developing guidelines and codes of practice for rescue, rehabilitation and release to maximise the welfare outcomes for native turtles, to ensure that every turtle receives professional and compassionate care.
  • Acting as an independent advisory Body to all levels of Government, business and the community on turtle rescue and rehabilitation.  
  • Inspiring the next generation by informing them about our work and the plight of native turtles.
  • Acquiring and disseminating accurate and up-to-date information on all aspects of turtle rescue, rehabilitation, and release protocols for wildlife rehabilitators, volunteers and the community.
  • Collaborating with rehabilitators, researchers and veterinarians to increase the knowledge base for this species.
  • Operating on a not-for-profit basis.
  • Establishing and maintaining a public fund to be called the Turtle Oblonga Public Fund for the specific purpose of supporting the environmental aims of Turtle Oblonga Rescue and Rehabilitation Network Inc.
