About Koala Hospital
The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital is a renowned brand that serves as both a licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility and a popular tourist attraction. Established in 1973, the hospital welcomes thousands of visitors from around the world each year and admission is free. As a not-for-profit organization managed by Koala Conservation Australia Limited, their mission is to lead in the care and conservation of wild koalas, increase public knowledge about these beloved creatures, and work collaboratively to ensure their survival into the future.
The hospital's facilities include exhibit enclosures, a treatment clinic, intensive care units, and rehabilitation yards equipped with trees for koalas to learn climbing skills during the rehabilitation process. Visitors can also explore the Koalaseum, a museum dedicated to educating people about koala evolution, biology, and conservation through interactive displays. The funding for the Koala Hospital is primarily obtained through public donations, bequests, the Adopt A Wild Koala Program, and souvenir shop sales.
In 2019, the hospital received government funding for the first time in its history, allowing for the rebuilding and expansion of the facilities. The newly enhanced hospital, along with the Wild Koala Breeding Program, aims to provide an even better visitor experience and increase opportunities for education, training, and research. As a registered charity and environmental organization, the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital relies on the generosity of the public to support their ongoing operations and the Wild Koala Breeding Program.
Their dedicated team of approximately 200 volunteers plays a crucial role in the hospital's success. The brand's rich history dates back to its founding by local residents Jean and Max Starr in 1973. Their vision to rescue, rehabilitate, and release wild koalas remains at the heart of the hospital's mission.
Collaboration with sponsors and partners is integral to the hospital's work in supporting and protecting koalas. Their efforts ensure the continuation of this valuable work.
