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.

In October 2021, a young koala joey was rescued from the side of Port Stephens Drive, a road once known for being particularly dangerous for koalas and other wildlife. Alone and appearing to have a leg injury, Basil was far too young to be without his mum.
When Ainslie arrived at Port Stephens Koala Hospital in October 2025, she was still riding on the back of her mum, Jane. The pair had been rescued from a backyard at Brandy Hill after dogs were spotted nearby.
