Log a Sighting

Not every koala you see is in trouble — but every sighting helps us understand where koalas are moving, living, and facing risks. By logging a sighting, you contribute valuable data that supports rescue efforts, conservation planning, and habitat protection.

When to Log a Sighting

• You see a healthy koala in a tree or moving across a yard.

• A koala is spotted crossing a road but appears uninjured.

• A koala is resting in a low tree or unusual spot but does not seem sick or hurt.

If the koala looks sick, injured, or in danger, please call our 24/7 Rescue Hotline immediately: 0435 504 222.

Information We Need

When you log a sighting, please include as much detail as possible:

• Date and time of the sighting.

• Exact location – address, GPS pin, or nearby landmark.

• Koala behaviour – for example, resting, eating, climbing, crossing a road.

• Condition – healthy, thin, unusual behaviour, signs of injury.

• Your contact details in case our team needs to follow up.

Why Sightings Matter

Community reports help us:

• Track koala populations across Redlands and surrounds.

• Identify dangerous roads and hotspots.

• Monitor signs of illness and emerging threats.

• Respond more quickly if a koala later becomes unwell or injured.

Every sighting adds to the bigger picture. By logging a koala, you’re helping us protect them now and into the future.
