Help us on our mission to protect and conserve wildlfie for generations to come

Protecting Wildlife for Future Generations

Australia is home to some of the world’s most unique and vulnerable animals – many of which are now threatened with extinction. At Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Hospital, we’re working urgently to protect threatened species, restore habitats and find solutions to devastating wildlife diseases through dedicated research and hands-on conservation. Every donation – big or small – helps power this critical work. Together, we can create a future where Koalas still climb trees, Frogs still sing at dusk and generations to come can experience the wild wonders we fight to protect today.

Kroombit Tinkerfrogs

Saving a species on the edge

With fewer than 200 left in the wild, the critically endangered Kroombit Tinkerfrog needs urgent help.

Our specialist breed for release program is their last lifeline and we’ve been working hard to protect them since 2008. Your support could mean the difference between extinction and survival.

Eastern Bristlebirds

Bringing back the songbirds

Once common along Australia’s east coast, Eastern Bristlebirds are now dangerously rare.

Our conservation team has been conducting years of research and is now breeding and releasing these shy, ground-dwelling birds into protected habitats – but we need your help to continue this vital work.

Tree to Me

Plant a tree, feed a Koala

Koalas need up to 1,000 gum trees each year to survive and they’re counting on us to keep planting.

Help us grow and maintain our eucalypt plantations to feed generations of rescued and rehabilitated Koalas.

Koala Research

A cure for one of the Koalas’ deadliest threats

Koala chlamydia is causing blindness, infertility, and death – but we’re working with the Queensland University of Technology to deliver a life-saving vaccine.

Your support will help protect the incredible Koala come back from extinction and give a lifesaving vaccine to thousands of Koalas now and into the future.
