Naming rights

Digital X-ray Suite

$48,850

Radincon RAD-X HF Premier Vet X-ray System. Most wildlife arrives after a car strike, a fall or a dog attack. This X-ray suite reveals broken bones and internal injuries in seconds, so our vets can treat with confidence instead of guessing.

Mobile X-ray Imaging Station

$60,900

Radincon RAD-X DR CX3A 702C Mobile Radiology System. A wheeled digital imaging station that comes to the animal, so a stressed koala or injured raptor can be scanned where it lies, with images on screen almost instantly.

Ultrasound Scanner

$41,000

V-Shaped Surgery Table

$8,400

Stainless steel V-top veterinary operating table. The V shape cradles animals of wildly different shapes — from a turtle to a wallaby — keeping them stable and correctly positioned during surgery.

LED Surgical Light

$9,750

Three-pod LED surgical ceiling light. Shadow-free, cool light over the operating field so surgeons can see fine bones, nerves and blood vessels clearly during delicate repairs.

Digital recognition

Large Animal Floor Scales

$762

Platform weighing scales. Every drug dose and fluid rate is calculated by weight, so accurate weights for larger patients like kangaroos and wallabies are a matter of life and death.

Bench Scales for Small Patients

$235

Bench top weighing scales. Precise weights for the tiny ones — possums, gliders, hatchlings and pinkies — where a few grams changes the entire treatment plan.
