ORRCA is Australia’s leading volunteer organisation dedicated to the rescue, research and conservation of whales, dolphins, seals and dugongs. Every year, our trained members respond to hundreds of marine mammal incidents, operate our 24/7 Rescue Hotline, contribute vital data to national monitoring programs, and provide specialist on-site and on-water support.
The ORRCA Member Portal app brings our network together in one easy, accessible place. Whether you’re an active responder, a newly trained member or simply passionate about protecting marine wildlife, the app helps you stay connected, informed and ready to support Australia’s marine mammals.
As the only volunteer wildlife organisation in NSW licensed in marine mammal rescue, rehabilitation and release, ORRCA empowers you, its members, with industry-leading training, science-led resources and real-time communication tools. The Member Portal is designed to support that work - strengthening coordination, building community, and making it easier for members across the country to stay engaged.
