In the active breeding season between August and February, koalas are much more likely to be out and about.
This increased activity means that our beloved furry marsupials are more likely to be hit by cars or attacked by dogs, and we know that nobody wants to be the cause of an injury or fatal accident.
To prevent these kinds of incidents, make sure you know where koalas are most likely to be – check out our koala mapping project here.
If you live or move through koala country, report any koalas you see, call the 24-hour koala rescue line if you see a sick or injured koala, and make your backyard koala friendly.
Report your local koala sightings
If you see a koala, let us know! Every koala reported informs our koala mapping project, which in turn provides vital information to plan for the future, protect, and manage these areas in a way that supports the survival of koalas.
If you see a koala, please report sightings through the I Spy Koala app or via the online survey here.
Look out for sick or injured koalas
If you come across a sick or injured koala, please call the 24-hour koala rescue line on (02) 6584 1522. ‘
This service is run by Koala Conservation Australia (Port Macquarie Koala Hospital) and covers Kempsey Shire.
