Every dollar counts in helping us get koalas and other native animals back in the bush.
Caring for endangered koalas and other native animals costs significant time and money – so we need your support.
Did you know it costs more than $16,000 to fully rehabilitate and release a single koala? This includes rescue operations, medical treatment, care, food and habitat preservation.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on the goodwill of generous donors like you to help us fund our important care and wildlife conservation work – and to help ensure we have a safe, healthy koala population in Port Stephens and our wider region for generations to come.
We hold Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. This means any donation you make of $2 or over is tax-deductible. We’ll send you a receipt for your records directly to your inbox, including your line items and our ABN.
Every dollar makes a difference, whether it’s $10 or $100. A one-off donation goes directly towards the rescue, care and rehabilitation of koalas and other native wildlife in our region.
A monthly donation means we can plan ahead – keeping our hospital stocked, our team supported and more native animals on the road to recovery. It’s one of the most powerful ways to help.
Every dollar you donate goes directly into the care and conservation of koalas and native wildlife. Here’s where it makes a difference.
We use eco-friendly solar panels and batteries to power our hospital and site, saving us thousands of dollars a month.
Every koala treated contributes to our growing wildlife health dataset and ongoing research.
We provide free education sessions to schools and community groups as well as work experience and university placements.
Our impact is measured in many ways, including rescues, recoveries, releases, habitat restoration, community awareness and increased knowledge.
When Reggie arrived at Port Stephens Koala Hospital in December 2025, he was a young sub-adult male who had likely only recently left his mother to find a territory of his own. He was very unwell, with discharge from both his eyes and nose. A CT scan revealed pneumonia, and testing confirmed he was also positive for chlamydia.
Koalas are one of Australia’s most loved native animals – and one of its most vulnerable. Partnering with us connects your business to meaningful conservation work, a passionate community and a cause that resonates with customers, staff and stakeholders.
