Introducing the New Currumbin Wildlife Institute
Friday, 27 March 2026 | Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
Join us for a special lunchtime event marking the Turning of the Soil for the new Currumbin Wildlife Institute.
About This Event
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 Institute can make it happen.
This is your chance to be part of history.
This world-class facility will transform wildlife conservation from emergency response to science-led prevention, research, education and collaboration. Wildlife admissions have been at record levels. Emergency care alone is no longer enough.
The facility is being built. The expertise is ready. What’s needed now is your support – to equip the Institute with world-class fit-out, technology and research capability that will change outcomes for wildlife.
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 Currumbin Wildlife Institute 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.
Every ticket includes a 3 course lunch, drinks, tea and coffee. There will also be plenty of live entertainment, raffle prizes, a live auction and presentations.
