From playful puppies and dogs, adorable kittens and cats, Australian wildlife and farm animals, each month features captivating photography that not only celebrates the courage of firefighters, but also raises awareness for animal rescue organisations.

Since its launch in 1993, the calendar has donated over $3.5 million dollars to charities across Australia and the world. The calendar’s proud history of supporting animal refuges and Australian Wildlife in the past continues. Australia’s Rural Firefighters and children suffering from Cancer will also benefit from donations.
The Australian Firefighters Calendar is found on the walls of supporters in over 90 countries around the world. The firefighters from the calendar are in hot demand to appear on some of the most popular TV shows and magazines around the world. From Germany to Taiwan, to the US and Japan, the firefighters from the calendar use their popularity to continue the message of conservation for Australian Wildlife.

This year will be the 5-year anniversary of the devastating Black Summer Bushfires that devastated Australia. It is reported that 3 billion native animals perished.
This event shocked people around the world, and it was the catalyst to build Australia’s only mobile wildlife hospital (Matilda). The support the BBWH received from around the globe has literally provided them the vehicle to be able to save wildlife where the supported is needed.
„The story of the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital has reached a global audience. This has been achieved through a TV series showcasing the work of our incredible veterinary team. The Series „Wildlife Rescue Australia“ has aired in Australia, Japan, Canada and now on National Geographic Wild in the US“.
