We’re best known for our world-famous Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, which rescues and rehabilitates sick and injured koalas. However, here at Koala Conservation Australia (KCA) we have a range of koala conservation programs that reflect our wider mission to: • Lead the world in the care and conservation of wild koalas, • Increase knowledge and understanding of the species and • Work collaboratively to ensure their survival into the future. Our not-for-profit organisation relies on a small team of specialist staff, including environmental scientists and wildlife veterinarians, supported by 200+ trained volunteers working across: • The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital • Guulabaa Visitor Education Centre (NEW) • Wild Koala Breeding 'Guulabaa' (NEW) • Koala Research & Education Programs • Koala Tree Plantations • Habitat restoration programs and partnerships Opening in 1972, we were the first dedicated Koala Clinic in Australia, and now we’re the first to introduce a Wild Koala Breeding Program. Our approach is evidence-based and compassionate. We collaborate with top-tier research institutions, such as the Taronga Conservation Society, the University of Sydney, and the Australian Museum. It’s a mutually beneficial exchange, with our highly experienced scientists and wildlife veterinarians making KCA one of the world leaders in koala research and conservation.
