A massive thank you to the Mornington Peninsula Shire, the Shoreham Community Association and other private donors to provide funding and support for a brand new aviary to be built at the Tyabb Koala hospital. This aviary was desperately needed for extra capacity and we are thrilled to say it has now been completed.
Make a donation towards helping our local wildlife, and support our local volunteer, Jennie Bryant.
Jennie runs the Tyabb Koala Hospital and has a “full house” of various wildlife including koalas, possums, birds, turtles, lizards and any other creatures brought to her by members of the public, or that she has been called out to rescue. All funds go towards assisting Jennie run the facility and make sure these precious animals get the best chance of rehabilitation and release.

🚨 UPDATE - 8.30pm, Wed 18 Feb
The injured koala hasn’t been found. If you live on property along Stumpy Gully Rd, Hunts Rd, Hodgins Rd etc, please check around your property and alert your neighbours. If you prefer we check, please let me know and we will happily come out. At the moment we can only check roadsides.
The koala has injuries that will be flyblown and need urgent vet attention.
If you see the koala, please respond to this post or call Jennie Bryant on 0417 395 883.
Thank you 💚🐨🌳
ANOTHER FEMALE KOALA & JOEY KILLED ON WESTERN PORT HIGHWAY RIGHT NEAR THE NEW SIGNS!
Tragically, another female koala with joey has been killed on Western Port Highway (Tyabb) yesterday. How big do signs need to be for people to take them seriously?
Like the previous incident only a few weeks ago, the joey has not been located and is presumed missing or dead.
This is the same deadly stretch of road where we have lost over 20 koalas!
If you know anything about this incident or observe a young koala in the area, please comment below or message MPKC immediately.
This is not an isolated tragedy. Koalas are being killed here again and again and in many other locations across the MP - the awful image captures the exasperation and despair of our wildlife rescuers.
Urgent action is needed:
Slow down and take our signage seriously. Share this post. Demand change. Koalas cannot wait.
Spare a thought for our wildlife rescuers who have to respond to these incidents so frequently. They hurt!
