Port Macquarie Koala Hospital

The iconic Lord Street Koala Hospital has reopened following a major $10.7 million redevelopment, ushering in an exciting new era for koala care, rehabilitation and education.

Observe resident koalas from accessible viewing areas, explore interactive exhibits and conservation displays, and watch veterinary care in action at the new koala clinic. Step inside the brand-new Koala Museum, tracing decades of rescue history.

None of this happens without the community, donors and corporate partners. Over 250 volunteers give their time to clinical care, food gathering and guiding visitors through the hospital - and koalas need all the help they can get, with extinction looming by 2050.

Adopt a Koala, join Leaf by Leaf, or grab a gift from the onsite retail boutique – every purchase helps ensure koalas remain part of Australia's story for generations to come.
