Research & Education Campus
A World-Class Wildlife Research & Education Campus
Imagine a world where Koalas are no longer endangered. A world where the list of endangered species is decreasing. We’re on a mission to create this world – and this Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Research & Education Campus can make it happen.
The new laboratories will serve as a hub for leading scientists from around the world to collaborate on applied research that addresses urgent conservation challenges, while the Education Campus will engage students, community groups, and corporate partners in building industry expertise, strengthening capability, and disseminating knowledge.
You can help us bring this vision to life and protect the future of Australia’s endangered species.

About the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Research & Education Campus
The Wildlife Research & Education Campus will enable the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital to continue to expand its current research and training programs and help save many native wildlife species from extinction.
Creating a unique Queensland experience, floor to ceiling windows will enable guests visiting the Sanctuary to watch vets and researchers hard at work.
The research and training conducted at the Campus will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the preservation of native wildlife species, including the critically endangered Koala.
The project is poised to be a significant asset for Australia, in the realm of conservation. Watch our video to find out more.
Business Case
The Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Research & Education Campus will provide numerous economic benefits. Many of the planned training programs will create new educational tourism products that will attract visitors to the region, including international students.
In total, the new Research & Education Campus will annually support 41 new jobs across the local economy and contribute $6.7 million to the local economy, in Gross Regional Product (GRP) terms.
Design & Construction
The Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Research & Education Campus will contribute to the decarbonisation agenda of the Commonwealth Government. The design of the new facilities has incorporated numerous elements to reduce the carbon footprint of the facility and provide positive environmental benefits, including rooftop solar, rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient lighting and energy-efficient design.
“Every animal we save represents a step forward for its species, but the real game-changer is preventing harm before it happens. This expansion will help ensure that our work benefits wildlife not just in our care at the hospital, but out in their natural habitats for generations to come.”
