Animal Welfare
Healing our animals, protecting their world.
We're a diverse group of volunteers from across Australia, united by our love for animals of every kind! We are driven by the opportunity to save precious lives here and around the globe, whilst also playing an important role in protecting their fragile homes. Whether you're a wildlife rescue pro or simply an animal lover, we would love to help you!
Meet the Team
Elissa (Team Lead) is a huge fan of our Australian Wildlife and has spent many family holidays at the Gippsland Lakes in Eastern Victoria over the last 20 years. She has a ton of experience working in the non-profit sector and is always up for a chat about the adorable animals you're taking care of.
Himesh grew up in Sri Lanka, where he saw many animals, especially dogs and cats, living without the care they deserved. That experience sparked a passion for protecting animals and inspired him to join Medical Pantry, where he helps ensure every animal receives the love and care they need. And yes - Himesh did rescue the baby possum pictured with him!
Olivia has always had a place in her heart for furry creatures. After spending all day in the laboratory as a cancer researcher, all she wants to do when she gets home is cuddle up with her cat, watch adorable animal videos and help make sure that all animals are being taken care of.
Abizer is passionate about conserving and communicating with our beautiful wildlife. Having completed courses in Animal-Heart Communication, Abizer loves sharing that, just like humans, all animals are here with a purpose.
Janice has been fascinated with all creatures, big and small (including creepy crawlies) since she was a child. She is passionate about assisting organisations in their mission to alleviate pain and suffering amongst the animals they care for.
Floriane believes every animal deserves a chance at life. Inspired by the kindness of animal rescue efforts, she’s dedicated to supporting this community and minimising human impact on the planet. With a background in clinical research, Floriane is a cat lover & a swimmer who finds peace in nature.
Lily grew up in Tasmania surrounded by farm animals and wildlife, which sparked a lifelong love of animals. Her medical background has shaped her belief in fair, compassionate care — for humans and animals alike — and she’s passionate about seeing better outcomes for animals everywhere

Messages From Our Partners
“Within two weeks of Cyclone Jasper, we received 60kg of custom-packed supplies. These resources gave animals like Jasper (above) a chance to survive. We used the Huck towels for hygiene, various syringes for feeding and vitamin dosing, incise drapes to protect clothing, and swabs for cleaning. Nothing was wasted.” - Far North Queensland Wildlife Rescue.
“The wonderful volunteers at The Medical Pantry could not have been more helpful - the equipment and supplies that they have given me have made a massive difference to my work helping animals and promoting animal welfare in this third-world Pacific country.” - Dr Caty Swain, President, Animals Vanuatu Association.
