The Southern hairy-nosed wombat was found close to death, dehydrated and exhausted, by shearers working on a remote property.
He was named Polar by the wildlife volunteer who nursed him back to health.
"I've been looking after wombats for nearly 40 years, and he's the third white one that's come into my care. And, yes, he's very rare," said wildlife rescuer, Val Salmon. Ms Salmon also looks after another wombat and a baby kangaroo.
