Koala Hospital

The Koala Hospital is a licensed wildlife hospital and rehabilitation centre located in Macquarie Nature Reserve on Lord Street, Port Macquarie, New South Wales. Established in 1973, it was the world's first hospital dedicated solely to koalas. Set around the historic Roto House (1890-1891), it treats, rehabilitates and releases sick and injured koalas, and provides public education through guided tours, viewing yards and informative displays about koala conservation.

Visitors can expect a small, bushland hospital setting within Macquarie Nature Reserve with outdoor treatment yards, intensive care and rehabilitation enclosures where resident and recovering koalas can be viewed. The site includes the heritage-listed Roto House, information displays, a visitor kiosk and gift shop, and shaded picnic areas. A free daily guided tour explains koala rescue, treatment and conservation, with opportunities for photography from viewing platforms.
