At Friends of the Koala, we believe in a future for koalas in the NSW Northern Rivers.

Operating for over 35 years, we have an established history of working towards positive outcomes for koalas. Not only do we rescue, rehabilitate and release sick and injured koalas, we restore and enhance their habitat, educate the community, advocate on their behalf and assist with relevant research.

We maintain a 24/7 Rescue Hotline and operate a Koala Hospital, Community Nursery and Community Education and Administration Centre at our site in East Lismore, NSW.

Each year on average, Friends of the Koala tend to 400 sick, injured, and orphaned koalas, which is approximately 50% of all wild koalas rescued in NSW.
