Currumbin Wildlife Institute
A World-Class Wildlife Institute
The building of the new Currumbin Wildlife Institute will commence in March 2026 and will signify a major milestone in the protection of Australian wildlife. This is your chance to be part of history.
We would like to invite you to become a foundational supporter of this amazing community project and assist us in raising the necessary funds to complete this project. As a foundational donor, your name can be etched in history, into the building and as a legacy for the future.
The new facility will be constructed behind Currumbin Wildlife Hospital which will remain fully operational, continuing to treat, rehabilitate and release native wildlife. Our vision for this Institute is to establish a world leading collaborative research and training facility to help preserve native wildlife.

About the Currumbin Wildlife Institute
The Currumbin Wildlife Institute 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 Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary to watch vets and researchers hard at work.
The research and training conducted at the Institute will have a profound impact on the preservation of native wildlife species, including the 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.
Design & Construction
The Currumbin Wildlife Institute 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.”
