The AWL is a non-profit, registered charity that does not receive any state or federal funding and we have been serving the Gold Coast region south-east Queensland since 1959. We rely heavily on the public, local businesses and our dedicated volunteers to help achieve our primary goal of achieving zero euthanasia of healthy and treatable cats and dogs. We believe by acting with integrity, innovation, initiative and optimism we can embrace a brighter future for all animals .

Each year 12,000 abandoned, abused, sick, stray and surrendered animals arrive at our shelter. We take them all in and provide food, shelter, veterinary care; and with extreme diligence, work towards rehoming these deserving animals into permanent, loving homes. Once an animal comes into our care, it remains with us until the right home is found - there is no time limit. Prior to adoption, every animal is desexed, microchipped for future identification purposes, wormed, flea-treated and vaccinated.

Our goal of zero euthanasia of healthy, sociable dogs has been achieved and we are working tirelessly to achieve the same result with the cats in our care. We feel compassionate about the care of these animals, and are optimistic about our increasing rehoming rates and decreasing euthanasia rates.

Apex Australia began in Geelong, Victoria on March 10th 1931 during the 1930’s depression and was founded by Langham Proud, Ewen Laird and Sir John Buchan.

At present over 400 Chartered Clubs operate in all States and Territories across Australia. Those Clubs represent Apex Members aged between 18 and 45 with a membership of approximately 4000 plus some 30,000 Senior Active and Life Members and approximately 350,000 past members who are indicative of the Association of Apex Clubs throughout Australia.

Apex is an Australian made volunteer organisation proudly boasting more than 75 years of service, assisting communities at home and abroad. The symbol chosen for the Apex badge was an equilateral triangle to represent that one aspect is not more important than the other. The base represents the ideal of citizenship, with the sides representative of the fun, the friendship and the service provided by Apex members to those communities in need. This symbol contains the rays of the sun rising to the peak of the apex, which sell the standards to which Apexian’s aspire and that are the “height of ambition”, with the rays symbolic of the rising generations of youth. The word “Australia” recognises that we are the Association of Apex Clubs of Australia, a homegrown association that holds a unique position in Australia. Apex continues to organise and meet the challenges presented by communities, which may not be overcome by individuals, but can be addressed by individuals who come together to achieve extraordinary things.

Australia Zoo has a significant and impressive history in both implemention and delivery of conservation programs, including breeding programs, wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, habitat restoration and maintenance and wildlife research.

Australia Zoo's work includes and extends beyond our own shores, and is currently actively involved in numerous international conservation programs, including working for the protection of cheetah in Africa and tigers and elephants across S.E Asia. We are excited and proud to be partnering with the Aussie Recycling Program (ARP) and Fauna & Flora International (FFI) to take action to help protect gorillas in central Africa.

Habitat destruction and poaching are just two of the factors driving this great ape to extinction. Coltan is a rare mineral that is used in the production of electronic devices, including mobile phones. Unfortunately, most of the world's coltan reserves are found in the same region as gorillas and the mining for this rare mineral is destroying their last remaining habitat.

By recycling your old mobile phones, not only are you reducing the demand for coltan but also helping to raise funds for Gorilla conservation.

The Australian Reptile Park and Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1948 - by the late and great ERIC WORRELL, Australia's first naturalist - and is now regarded as one of the countries premier attractions. The Sanctuary is The only zoo in Australia committed to saving lives with a Venom-Milking Program in place for the past 50+ years, saving over 300 lives each year being the sole supplier of a variety of venoms, which is used for all snake and funnel-web anti-venom in Australia.

The Australian Reptile Park is working with a range of zoos and government agencies in the fight to save the Tasmanian devil from extinction. 'Save the Tasmanian Devil Program' is a joint project between the Tasmanian government (Department of Primary Industries and Water) and the Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria (ARAZPA) to establish an insurance population of this iconic species on the mainland, while research continues in Tasmania aimed at addressing the problem on the ground. Declared endangered in May '08 due to the ravaging effects of a viral named Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), which unfortunately is mutating at an alarming rate with over 9 different strains already recorded. To date more than 60% of Tasmania's devils have disappeared from the island.

The Australian Reptile Park at present holds the largest population of devils on the mainland, having successfully bred 20 joeys in the past two years. The park self-funds this program relying entirely on funding the program through gate entry fees from visitors to the park. The program at the park costs approximately $150,000 per year to run (that equates to $3,000 per devil), the park is now launching a sponsorship program, along with a donation program with Foundation for Australia's Most Endangered Species (FAME).

The Australian Reptile Park is located at Somersby on Sydney's Central Coast, close to the Sydney-Newcastle Expressway, perfect to include with tours to Hunter Valley, Barrington Tops and Port Stephens. Less than one hour north of Sydney Harbour Bridge or south of Newcastle, we're the first stop on the 'new' Pacific Coast Touring Route after Sydney.

Australia’s leading mentoring program for young people supported by 100 years of international experience and expertise. Our name and logo are synonymous with quality program delivery and best practice worldwide.

Established in Australia in the late 1970’s, we provide disadvantaged young people, in need of additional support and friendship, with a caring mentor and positive role model. Our programs are based on the simplicity and power of friendship. Research has demonstrated that mentoring can empower young people to reach their potential, make positive changes in their behaviour, and build self-worth, trust and relationships at home and at school.

We believe all young people need to feel valued and important. Big Brothers Big Sisters’ community-based mentoring involves the development of a long-term one-to-one friendship between a volunteer mentor and young person aged 7 to 17 years; undertaking a range of simple and inexpensive activities according to interests and time. These may include a walk in the park, playing board games or basketball, baking a cake, going to a football match or building something together. Young people who spend time with a mentor gain confidence, self-esteem and new skills, whilst mentors experience a renewed sense of discovery, learning and enjoyment.

The creation of the Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation (Inc.) was inspired by 9 year old Jennifer Harper, who was diagnosed with leukaemia in 1977. When her father, Peter Harper, discovered that there was no research into children’s leukaemia being done in WA, he set out to raise funds for this purpose.

Together with other parents of children with cancer and with the support of the children’s hospital, the Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation (Inc.) was formed. In 1983 the Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Laboratory was established and in 1984 Dr Ursula Kees, a Swiss born scientist was recruited from the German Cancer Institute, to head up the Research Unit. Whilst Jennifer inspired the creation of the Foundation, she did not win her fight against leukaemia and died in 1978.

The Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation (Inc.) supports Professor Ursula Kees, our Principal Research Fellow, a Research Officer, and a Laboratory Assistant. It provides financial assistance to a Ph.D. Scholarship, laboratory consumables, maintenance and equipment for the Research Laboratory.

Without this support the Laboratory could not continue its life-saving research. In 1998 the Foundation agreed to administer the 3 Boys Legacy charity as part of their cancer research program. 3BL was established in 1998 by three families who lost their 3 boys to brain tumours in 1996. The 3BL research into children’s brain cancer, in memory of Matthew Webb, Justin Ward and Ricky Wannberg, is being conducted by Dr Peter Dallas alongside Professor Kees and her research team.

Inspire creates opportunities for young people aged 16-25 to change their world. By “their world”, we mean whatever is real for them. This could be struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts, wanting to do something for their local community or simply experiencing new ways to learn and grow.

For most young people the Internet, and its associated technologies, are like the air they breathe. It’s their communication medium, it’s anonymous, and it’s available 24 hours a day. Inspire runs three key programs - Reach Out!, ActNow and Beanbag. Young people are actively involved in the development and delivery of all of these programs, ensuring that our work remains relevant to them.

The Lions Medical Research Foundation was started in 1966 when they funded Dr. John Healy to research kidney disease at the Princess Alexandra in Brisbane.

In 1984 Lions, through their fundraising, provided $1.2 million to build a research centre at the hospital. This provided a home for many researchers into life threatening diseases over the ensuing years with success. In 1981 Lions became involved in immunology. This research included tissue matching that is now used in all organ transplants. E.g. liver, kidney and bone marrow...

With the passing of time the researchers outgrew the building and with the erection of the new Princess Alexandra Hospital the Queensland Government dedicated an entire floor of the new building to the Lions Medical Research Foundation in recognition of their work in funding researchers over the years.

There have been many successes in many fields of research, Immunology, Opthalmology, Pharmacology, Cancer to name a few.

The most recent notable success was Lions Professor Ian Fraser whose team discovered the serum to prevent Cervical Cancer in women.

Research is carried out at the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital into Perinatal problems with a Lions researchers being funded there. There is also an association with the Cord Blood at the Mater.

The Lions Medical Research Foundation provides seed funding to researchers who have ideas for research into medical problems. Lions funding enables them to carry out research to a point that when some success becomes apparent the can obtain more funding from other interested bodies like drug companies etc.

With a mission statement of:

“The Lions Medical Research Foundation is committed to successfully improving the standard of health in the community by providing long term medical research funding for those who would otherwise be neglected. This effort will be underpinned through valuable and worthwhile support of the Lions Miss Personality Quest, and by generating significant awareness to Lions Clubs, and the general public.”

With a commitment of over $ 250,000 a year and growing the Lions Medical Research Foundation’s support will continue into the future.

With more than 320 species on view, Melbourne Zoo offers a window into the diversity of the world’s wildlife. Every animal at Melbourne Zoo is an ambassador for its wild cousins, and there are many education, research, and conservation projects underway.

In 2008, Melbourne Zoo has partnered with the Australian Recycling Program (ARP) and the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to take action against the coltan mining crisis. The western world’s reliance on mobile phones is driving Mountain Gorilla’s and many other species towards extinction. Coltan is a rare and valuable mineral that is an essential part of all mobile phones. 80% of this mineral is currently mined throughout Africa, destroying the last remains of suitable Mountain Gorilla habitat. By donating your mobile phones for recycling to Melbourne Zoo you can take action against this crisis and make a difference for endangered primates that are calling on you!

Set amongst lush gardens with naturalistic exhibits that closely replicate the animals' native habitats from all around the world, Perth Zoo is committed to making a lasting contribution to conservation by supporting projects that will secure long term populations of species in natural environments.

2009 has been dubbed the International year of the Gorilla, and Perth Zoo has joined with the Jane Goodall Institute Australia on a campaign called "They're Calling On You" aimed at saving gorillas and other species by asking you to donate your old and unused mobile phones. Mobile phones contain a rare and valuable metal called columbite-tantalum, or coltan. The richest deposits of coltan in the world are found in the Congo, in the dense, pristine habitats of the critically endangered Eastern Lowland Gorilla. Coltan mining is not only destroying the habitats of endangered gorillas but driving their active destruction.

"They're Calling On You" is a simple yet effective way people can take action for primate conservation.

Rett Syndrome is a unique neurodevelopment disorder which begins in early infancy, seen almost always in girls and is found in a variety of racial and ethnic groups throughout the world.

The Rett Syndrome Australian Research Fund was established in 1995 in response to the lack of funding for Rett Syndrome Research taking place in Australia. The fund is run by a small group of volunteers who raise funds through various fundraising activities.

All money donated is spent directly on Rett Syndrome research to employ scientists and for the purchase of equipment, chemicals & reagents to enable this vital research to continue. Our charity also funds the Rett Syndrome Multidisciplinary Management Clinic at the Children's Hospital at Westmead where once a year the health needs of those suffering with Rett Syndrome are assessed by a team of doctors and specialists and recommendations made to the patients' local therapists.

If funding permits, our Australian Researchers hope to start treatment trials on those suffering with Rett Syndrome within the next 12-24 months which we are very excited about.
