KOALAS IN CARE INC is a non-profit organisation and a registered charity run by volunteers and has no paid employees. Licensed by the Office of Environment & Heritage, our operational area covers approximately 843 000 hectares across three Local Government Areas – Greater Taree, Gloucester and over half of Great Lakes. This vast area contains a wide spectrum of climates, soil types, vegetation communities and ‘people problems’ which affect the koalas living within the area.

KOALAS IN CARE INC is independently operated and is based in Taree, New South Wales, Australia. Although KOALAS IN CARE INC was only established in July 2005, our founding members, Paul and Christeen McLeod, have been working with koalas in this area since 1993. Our volunteers are committed to the welfare and preservation of our wild koala population and their habitat. We operate a 24hr koala rescue service for sick/injured/orphaned koalas and work 365 days per year. Our Facility is not open to the public.

Our organisation receives no recurrent Government funding and relies on the kind generosity of the public for donations/bequests and support. This along with our own fundraising enables us to care for and rehabilitate the koalas that are admitted for treatment thus ensuring that the koalas have the best chance of recovery so that we can return as many as possible back to the wild.

We cannot achieve this without your help!
