KOALA PRESERVATION SOCIETY of New South Wales

Koala Hospital Membership

The management Committee, Staff and Volunteers welcome you to the Koala Preservation Society of NSW Inc. (KPS) and the Koala Hospital and Study Centre at Port Macquarie NSW. We extend the hand of friendship and hope that you will enjoy working with us to ensure that the remaining precious Koala populations on the Mid North Coast survive well into the future. We do this, not only through Hospital and home care, but education, habitat protection, habitat enhancement and research into the various diseases and illnesses that Koala’s contract. Working Members generally undertake to attend various training sessions and will be subject to an initial three month probationary period, depending on the skill level they wish to attain. Please note that Supporting and Probationary Members do not have voting rights at General Meetings of the Society but are welcome to attend.

To begin your membership application please select your preferred type of membership.
