Zoos Victoria faces a major staffing crunch, potentially cutting up to 70 jobs—roughly 10% of its workforce—as financial pressures mount after a $5 million deficit last year. Rising animal care and facility costs outpaced ticket sales and memberships, forcing tough decisions. Unions are sounding the alarm, warning that these cuts could cripple conservation efforts, wildlife rescue operations, and visitor experiences—especially as some roles may be replaced by self-service tech. With meetings underway and final numbers still up for debate, staff, animals, and the public are watching closely as this pivotal moment threatens the zoo’s mission to fight extinction.
