Your chance to be a part of history for Wildlife Conservation

THE VISION: To establish a world leading collaborative research and training facility to preserve native Australian wildlife from extinction.

Currumbin Wildlife Hospital admissions have been increasing by thousands every year, native species are at risk of being lost forever. URGENT ACTION IS NEEDED
The Currumbin Wildlife Institute is the solution: a state-of-the-art research and training facility dedicated to scientific conservation, training, and collaboration to protect threatened native species.

A remaining $3Million is needed by 30 June 2027 to finalise the fit out and purchase state of the art equipment. Now you can be a part of this game changer for wildlife, by investing in prevention, you can help stabilise species, reduce suffering of wildlife and help secure Australia’s biodiversity for the future.

I’ve been working at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital for 25 years, and the wildlife admissions go up year after year. The problems we see, particularly in endangered Koalas, are potentially preventable.
Currumbin Wildlife Institute will provide us with the tools we need to save the iconic Koala and many other native Australian species.
