How to help koalas

Koalas are a unique part of Campbelltown's identity, but they need our help. Residents can play a vital role by: 

• Report sick of injured koalas to WIRES (0466 318 688) or Sydney Wildlife (02 9413 4300)
• Report koala sightings via 02 4645 4601, koalatown@campbelltown.nsw.gov.au, or the I Spy Koala App (downloadable via the App Store on your device) 

• Drive carefully in areas east of the train line, especially at dusk, dawn or during the night. If you hit a koala, contact WIRES or Sydney Wildlife 

• Keep dogs secured when unattended, preferably indoors at night and always walk them on a lead outside your home or use an off-leash area
• Report all roaming dogs to Council at 02 4645 4604

• Plant koala food trees to protect and restore koala habitat, or join a Bushcare group

• Make rural fences koala friendly (30cm gap, no barbed wire or wooden posts) and ensure secure internal fencing to keep dogs in and koalas out
• Place a secured rope in pools to help koalas climb out 

• Support wildlife carers by donating or purchasing souvenirs from the Visitor Information Centre
• Spread awareness by displaying a Koalatown sticker, talking to friends and encouraging visits to local reserves. 

Businesses can play a vital role in supporting Campbelltown's koalas and their habitat. Small actions can make a big difference, such as: 

• Register as a Koalatown supporter and proudly display the Koalatown Supporter poster in your shop window or on your vehicle

• Become a project partner by providing sponsorship for one of our upcoming programs that support koala protection and habitat restoration

• Raise awareness by placing a sticker on your car, mailbox or bin and encourage your customers, friends and family to visit local reserves and participate in programs to help protect Campbelltown's koalas.
