1300KOALAZ is a deductible gift recipient charity meaning that every donation over $2 is tax deductible (in Australia). We practice the rescue, rehabilitation and release, where possible, of sick, injured and orphaned koalas. These are cared for at our own properties as we use the donations given to us in the best way, to help koalas in need. We also believe in protecting koala habitat and regener

ating habitat lost through deforestation or bushfire. Our organisation is 100% volunteer and receives no government funding, relying solely on the generosity of the public to help us pay for equipment, trees, formulas, supplements and veterinary expenses.

How cute are these two together? On the left is Emmet and Anna is on the right.

They certainly seem to enjoy the leaf their carer has collected for them.

UPDATE: My apologies it's Emmet NOT Anna, will post Anna soon.

' Anna is doing really well.

Her carer keeps her well stocked with the tastiest leaves she can find and Anna is extremely grateful.

Enjoy this video of Anna tucking in.

' Tate is getting a big boy. Now at over 2kg he is spending his days in the big enclosure, no pics of that yet as he is still a little nervous about it.

He does love his bed though.

We’re proud to once again partner with the Adelaide Hills Council in our mission to protect our beloved koalas. Another stretch of 1300KOALAZ fencing has now been installed in a known hotspot — and we’re hopeful this trial will reduce the number of koalas being hit by cars.

Our work isn’t just about rescuing injured koalas — it’s about preventing these accidents from happening in the first place. Every life saved matters.

1300KOALAZ is entirely volunteer-run, and every dollar we raise goes directly into rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting koalas. We work incredibly hard to fundraise because we care deeply — and because the koalas need us. The cost of this fencing is over $10,000 per km. 1300KOALAZ purchased the fencing and the council has kindly installed it. Without the support from our community this would not be possible.

While we can’t guarantee this fencing will completely stop vehicle collisions, we can’t afford to do nothing. This is a step forward — and every step counts.

Thank you for your continued support 💚 If you'd like to help us, please consider donating, sharing, or volunteering. Together, we can make a difference.

Walter came in after it was suspected he had been hit by a vehicle.

Lucky for him he was ok although it was discovered he had an abscess on his gum which required treatment.

After 10 days in care he was released fit and well.

Welcome to the totally adorable little Emmett!

This gorgeous little boy had a huge fall from a gum tree last night when the branch he was sitting on collapsed and fell to the ground. Luckily a very kind person witnessed his fall and called us straight away for assistance.

Even though he had a huge fall he picked himself up and climbed another tree making him out of reach for our rescuer. The awesome MFS Golden Grove crew kindly came to assist and Emmett was safely retrieved!

Thankfully Emmett doesn’t have any broken bones. He is feeling a little bruised from his ordeal and will be monitored by one of our carers for a few days to ensure he is all ok, before being released.

If you see a sick, injured or distressed koala, please call our 24/7 free hotline on 1300 562 529 for assistance or advice.

It was time for 1300KOALAZ to say goodbye to Rosie.

Her carer had picked a great place away from main roads on a private property and where Louise had been released a short time ago.

Rosie is a timid little koala but we are sure she will come into her own now she is a wild koala. Hopefully she won't wander too far from her release site and we can get updates from the property owners.

Stay safe Rosie. xx

Mia's carer went out to check on her and found her living her best life.

Loving being high in the trees with the breeze in her fur.

Stay safe Mia.

Say hello to 1300KOALAZ' Anna. Sweet little Anna came into care when her mother had to be given peace.

Like some humans Anna was born with a cleft lip. Her palate is unaffected and it causes her no distress or difficulties feeding as you can see from the video so it does not require veterinary intervention.

Anna will stay in care with her dedicated carer for a couple of months when she should be big enough to look after herself and will be released.

We think she is gorgeous.

If you find a sick, injured, orphaned or distressed koala please call 1300KOALAZ (1300 562 529) for help or advice.

With the end of National Volunteer Week almost here, we would like to thank all our fantastic volunteers.

Hotline operators, taking calls whatever the time of day or night and dispatching rescuers to help our koalas in need, keeping our data up to date and our coordinators informed we couldn't do it without you.

Rescuers, volunteering not only their time to go out and rescue koalas when it is needed, rescues that can sometimes take several hours, but their vehicles and petrol in order to get to the rescue site so they can rescue and then transport the koala wherever needed. We couldn't do it without you.

Carers, going out on a daily basis to bring back the juciest morsals for the koalas in your care. Cleaning, taking koalas to vet appointments, medicating, watching for any small sign that something is not right with your charge, putting in the hours needed to make sure you have the skills necessary to ensure as many koalas as possible make it back out to the wild. We couldn't do it without you.

Coordinators, for the hours you spend on call to make arrangements with the rescuers, vets and carers when a koala is coming into care. Giving advice and arranging MFS, CFS, SAPOL, Traffic Management, tree climbers, and any other resources when a rescue needs more help than we can do alone. We couldn't do it without you.

Educators, for the hours you put in giving talks to public groups and schools to make sure that the wider public is aware of the plight our koalas are in and inspiring the next generations of wildlife warriors. We need you as a voice.

All those that make some of our equipment, hoops, paddles, sew the bags for them, sewing pouches for the joeys, without the hours you put in rescueing would be that much harder. Those that do all the unseen work behind the scenes, admin, finance, grants, equipment, purchasing, supplying of equipment, the list goes on. You are all needed to make the machine work.

1300KOALAZ needs each of you and really appreciates all you do for our shared passion, our koalas. xx

Little Miss Mia has had her big day.

After several months in care she was big enough to be released.

Enjoy her release video and we hope you don’t feel as nervous as her carer did when she heads for the top of the tree.

If you find a sick, injured, orphaned or distressed koala please call 1300KOALAZ (1300 562 529) for help or advice.

South Australia’s Koalas are under attack from development which encroaches on their habitat. We are cutting down their food sources which has forced them into suburbia in search of somewhere to call home. As they come closer into contact with humans their numbers are increasingly under threat as they are hit by cars crossing suburban roads and attacked by dogs as they cross what were once Koala corridors but are now our back yards.

The 1300KOALAZ team has professionalised our methods and practices and ongoing training keeps us updated with the most recent information on Koalas, the diseases which affect them, methods of capture and treatments. We keep statistics vital to give the Koalas a voice to secure their future.

Our goals are to help conserve and regenerate Koala habitat, to cause the Koalas we bring into care as little stress as possible, successfully rehabilitate and release them back into their home territories, relieve the suffering of those that cannot be saved, educate the wider public about Koalas and the problems they are facing and ultimately to conserve the species for future generations.
