Research for the Future
Keeping wildlife wild is at the core of who we are at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital. Like you, we couldn’t imagine a world where Koalas don’t climb trees or Rainbow Lorikeets don’t fill our skies with colour.
We believe prevention is better than treatment. As our admission numbers grow year upon year, we need to be at the forefront of preventative research – just like our world-first Koala Chlamydial Vaccine research program. Help us get ahead of the curve and prevent wildlife from needing to visit us in the first place. The only thing holding us back from more research is funding – and that’s where you can come in.
Koala Chlamydia Vaccine Research Program
Life-saving vaccine for over 500 Koalas so far
Since the launch of this ground-breaking program, more than 500 Koalas have been saved from chlamydia – the leading cause of death of Koalas.
Wildlife Research & Education Campus
A world-class research and training campus that would allow us to continue and expand critical research to save wildlife and provide education for future Vets from around the globe.
Support Us
Donate to help fund our research
Our hospital gets busier each year, but you can help fund research so we can move into prevention and not just treatment. Help us keep wildlife wild.
