What do I do, if I see a koala?
REPORT A SIGHTING
If you see a koala, let us know, so that we can check on its health & map it's location.
REPORT AN EMERGENCY
If you see a koala needing help, because it has been hit by a car, attacked by a dog or appears sick, please let us know ASAP, so we can get it to our emergency vet.
SUPPORT OUR CAUSE
Corporate Sponsorship
The High Country Koala Action Group Inc. is a community group working to help koalas in the unique escarpment environment in the Crows Nest district. Koalas, and other wildlife, are rescued, treated and rehabilitated by group volunteers, who specialize in the various stages of recovery.
Koalas are in rapid decline across Australia and require urgent support to reverse the trend.
Your financial support will be greatly appreciated, and will be allocated towards the costs of rescuing, treating and rehabilitating koalas in the Crows Nest district. Such costs include the purchase of equipment for resuces and treatment, as well as food, milk, surgery and medications for koalas during the recovery process.
The High Country Koala Action Group Inc. is a registered charity and holds Deductible Gift Recipient Status.
