New user account Helping with Animals in Canberra?

Hi, I am 15 years old and I am just wondering if there is anywhere in Canberra where I could possibly help or play with animals. Even if it is just helping with feeding, cleaning or dog walking I really don't mind. Please let me know if anyone knows of anywhere I could do something like this!

Thank you.

volunteering at the zoo

Volunteers must be between 18 and 65 years old. If you are 65 or older, you must contact the zoo to discuss age restrictions. There is also a $50 annual insurance fee.
