The Australian Wombat Rehabilitation Centre Inc (AWRC) is another initiative undertaken by the volunteers of the Wombat Awareness Organisation and was established to provide assistance to any animal in need. Our centre undertakes the rescue and rehabilitation of animals from regional South Australia and offers them immediate relief. Committed and experienced community members and other species specific rescue organisations then assist us by providing the ongoing care to these animals. All wombats however stay in the care of the organisations trained staff. The charity organisation has a 24 hour call and advice line to assist those that have either found, seen or have a wombat in need of help. AWRC team members travel all over South Australia to monitor and catch or collect injured animals and delivers them to the rehabilitation centre for specialised veterinary treatment and care. The AWRC even has a service that allows permitted animals to be sent to the rehabilitation centre from all over Australia for permanent care.

In conjunction with the rescue service, the AWRC has established the largest rehabilitation facility for the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat which allows animals to recover in a protected free-range environment.
