Connecting koala health and habitat data to improve koala release decisions in Queensland

The NKMP have worked in partnership with Queensland Department of Environment and Science to integrate koala and habitat data sets to improve the evidence base used for koala release.

Wildlife carers, vets and local council staff attended a koala rehabilitation workshop held at the RSPCA SEQ carers centre in July 2023 and offered valuable input to ensure the dashboard offers data insights that wildlife carers, vets and local councils trust and need. Insights offered by the dashboard can also help support best practice guidelines and codes of practice that have been developed for Koala release in Queensland.
