Our Story
Wild Action Zoo is a private wildlife facility located in the picturesque Macedon Ranges. Established in 1994, by Zoologist Chris Humfrey. From humble beginnings when Chris first developed his programs as a university student, Wild Action has become the market leader in environmental conservation/education in the state of Victoria, teaching over 250,000 people a year on the importance of conservation, protecting habitat and biodiversity.
Excitingly, Wild Action has developed a new program to assist people living with disabilities and special needs to reach their goals and help to learn new skills that will assist participants to succeed in many aspects of life. Our unique learning experience is designed to allow participants to gain skills develop and grow.
Zoo Crew is FUN, ENGAGING and WILDLY different!
Our Commitment to Animal Welfare
At Wild Action, the care and wellbeing of our animal family is our highest priority. Every animal lives in a safe, enriched environment at our private zoo, where their individual needs are respected.
- All animal interactions are gentle, ethical, and guided by professional zoologists.
- Our team is made up of tertiary-trained wildlife carers who provide expert care every day.
- Animals are never forced to interact — their comfort always comes first.
We follow (and often exceed) all licensing and welfare standards to ensure our animals are healthy, happy, and treated with the respect they deserve.
