Starfish Clinic is an independent service and we have to charge for our services. But we also like to give some of this back  to some of our favourite causes.

Starfish donates to The Jonah Project and we would like you to know that a little bit of every fee we charge goes toward rescuing Whales, Dolphins and other marine mammals around New Zealand.

We think that kids will like the idea that when they come to Starfish they will be helping to rescue these creatures when they beach themselves around our shores.

Dr Kev is also a marine rescue medic and is on call for strandings. Starfish also sponsors the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and have increased our sponsorship every year since 2005. 

Proud to sponser the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust.
