“Council is committed to maintaining the long-term sustainability of koala populations in the region and this organisation is crucial to that role.”
The Moreton Bay Koala Care and Rescue service is a 24-hour operation. Last year its hotline received more than 1100 calls and 74 koalas were relocated from dangerous situations while a further 257 were admitted to a wildlife hospital.
To report an injured koala contact the Moreton Bay Koala Rescue on 0401 080 333.
