13.01.2022 This season has been a busy one and we are glad it is finally slowing down a little, as breeding time tapers off. Our team has responded to 70 koalas in the wi...der Noosa region since the 1st July. No mean feat! Our team would be lost without the valuable contribution of those members we affectionately call our 'zoomies'. These special people often head out to cases where we wish to do a visual health check on a koala. They provide us with valuable high resolution close-up images that help us decide whether or not a koala needs to be brought into care to be tested and to potentially undertake treatment for disease, most often the nasty chlamydia. The earlier we can get chlamydia cases into care, the better chances they have of being successfully treated. If you sight a koala, let us know about it and we can undertake a visual health check via our Zoomie superstars. Alternately if you have the ability, feel free to send through to us any close-up pictures you may be able to get. Any koala with red, weepy or gunky eyes, or with a stained or wet looking rump (even only slightly) needs to be reported through, so that we can check and respond accordingly.
