WildlifeXposure capped off a bountiful 2019 Deakin University Geelong Business Excellence Awards night with finalist placings in four categories.
Xavier and Madeleine Morello’s business was a finalist for Corporate Social Responsibility, Home Based & Micro Business, Inclusive & Accessible Business, and Regional Business.
WildlifeXposure was established in Warrandyte in 2011 before moving to Torquay in 2016.
“At WildlifeXposure we specialise in delivering mobile, live educational and interactive animal incursions at schools, kindergartens, day care centres and birthday parties,” WildlifeXposure’s award entry says.
“Our educational programs showcase a unique and diverse range of native Australian wildlife and give children the opportunity to touch, handle and learn about Australian animals in a controlled and ethical environment.
WildlifeXposure also provides elaborate wildlife displays and stage presentations for large and small-scale community events, corporate functions, agricultural shows, university open days and smaller private events throughout Melbourne, Geelong and broader regional Victoria.
“Giving the public, overseas guests and others the opportunity to get up close with Australia’s amazing animals whilst we promote conservation through education and inspire a greater understanding and appreciation of wildlife,” the entry says.
“We only have passionate, dedicated, experienced and enthusiastic staff at WildlifeXposure and we are proud of running a business we truly believe makes a difference to people and their relationship with the environment.”
