When you leave a bequest to Perth Zoo in your Will, you leave a legacy of help and protection for countless vulnerable and endangered wildlife.

For more than 120 years, Perth Zoo has been an iconic part of Western Australia. You have watched us evolve into the world-renowned conservation agency we are today where we are at the frontline of saving wildlife and maintaining exemplary standards of animal care. 

Gifts in Wills are directed to priority needs to ensure the important work of Perth Zoo continues to the highest possible standard. 
 

How to leave a gift in your Will
 

A bequest is an instruction in your Will that specifies the amount and type of gift you are making to Perth Zoo. We recommend you consult a solicitor when drafting your Will and explore all options to best reflect your intentions. There are several types of bequests, which include:

• Residuary: The remainder of your estate after your loved ones have been taken care of;
• Percentage: A percentage of your estate;
• Pecuniary: A fixed cash amount.

When updating your Will, we suggest you include the following wording depending on what you would like to gift:

Residuary - this is a gift of whatever remains of your Estate:

 “I, (name), give to Zoological Parks Authority (Perth Zoo ABN 12 249 686 526) of 20 Labouchere Road, South Perth WA 6951 for its general purposes the residue of my Estate”
