About Zoos Victoria

Zoos Victoria offers experiences at three great zoos: Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary, and Werribee Open Range Zoo.  We welcome more than 1.6 million visitors annually across the three properties, making it Victoria's largest paid tourism attraction. 

In 2009 Zoos Victoria adopted a new strategic direction that will see the organisation transform over 20 years into the world's leading zoo-based conservation organisation.

To achieve this vision we have identified five action areas - Conservation, Animals, Visitors, People and Financial Sustainability - to bring about the transformation and ensure that our commitment to conservation is achieved.

Zoos Victoria intends to be a true leader, including being the Australian authority on captive animals, the major facilitator of wildlife knowledge leading to conservation action, and a high profile model for conservation, environmental sustainability and corporate social involvement.

Each of our three zoos has a unique value proposition and role to play in making this happen. We are well placed to create our specialist niche, one that will see us inspire the millions of people that visit our campuses and the wider community to take conservation action and to work with animals that require our assistance to survive.
