A: No, Esperance Wildlife Sanctuary Inc. operating the Esperance Wildlife Hospital is not related to Esperance Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Inc..

Esperance Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Inc. is a home-based wildlife carer formerly known as Roo Haven. They are not licensed to care for advanced and threatened species.

Esperance Wildlife Sanctuary Inc. is a comprehensive nature conservation NGO foundation that serves as an animal rescue and rehabilitation centre, with the only Wildlife Hospital outside a WA metro area - the Esperance Wildlife Hospital.

Esperance Wildlife Sanctuary specifically focuses on regenerating vegetation for endangered Black Carnaby's Cockatoos and other wildlife, ensuring that the sanctuary provides a safe and nurtured habitat. The Esperance Wildlife Hospital, as part of this organisation, offers critical medical care and rehabilitation services to all types of rescued animals, playing a crucial role in their recovery and eventual release back into the wild.

The two should not be confused as being the same.
