The Daisy Hill Koala Center and Moggill Koala Rehabilitation Center, Queensland, Australia, have joined Species360 as institutional members. As part of the Wildlife and Threatened Species Operations of the Department of Environment and Science, Queensland, the centers are home to rescue, rehabilitation, and education services that are essential to protecting populations of koalas throughout the region.
Moggill Koala Rehabilitation Center hospital provides medical care and rehabilitation facilities to koalas, including those injured during recent bushfires. Once ready, the koalas are reintroduced to the wild.

Once rehabilitated, treated koalas are returned to their natural habitat at, or close to, their point of rescue. Each koala is micro-chipped so that it can be identified in the future. Rehabilitation of a single koala back into the wild can make a significant difference to the survival of the South East Queensland koala population.
