Put conservation at the heart of your business
Is your business looking for a meaningful way to connect its people and purpose with a good cause that’s close to home?
We rely on the generosity of our community, including our business partners and supporters (from small businesses to large corporations), to help us fulfil our mission of helping give koalas and other native wildlife the best chance.
There are many ways you can get involved in workplace giving – from business partnerships and sponsorships to koala adoption packages and other donation gifts that bring your team onsite into the gum trees and closer to our important work.
Each option directly supports frontline rescue, rehabilitation and release – including our facilities, staff, medicines, food and conservation of the Hunter region – while supporting your ESG initiatives and goals.
Federal and State Government support has helped make our hospital, specialist care and essential equipment possible
Funding has supported major infrastructure, including the hospital, clinic and rehabilitation yards, as well as specialist veterinary staffing, enabling free treatment and care for koalas and other native wildlife.
