  • This was the highlight of my Lismore trip. I learned a lot about Koalas. The staff is friendly and dedicated to saving Koala. I would highly recommend the daily session at 2pm.
  • The care and support I was given over bringing in a( first time mother and her pinky Joey from a deliberate hit and run in front of me, ) was overwhelming. The lady even reparked my suv for me I was deeply grateful for their time and support. And to meet the permanent resident koalas was comforting. Please support this charity and slow down in koala zones . Because this tragic event will never leave me.
  • The Lismore region has one of the highest population of koala's in NSW. Friend's of koala's centre an entirely voluntary organization. Koala Centre provide guided tours and souvenirs for visitor's. If you like plants, you can go to little nursery on territory of the centre. All erea surrounded by native trees and plants.
  • Amazing visit- great work!! Please go here rather than to a zoo! Highly recommended tour!! Call in advance
  • A very caring atmosphere for both volunteers who work as carers, leaf collection, maintaining the centre and clinic. Everyone pitches in to do the best of their ability. It can be challenging learning curve for us as volunteers. However it's well worth the experience. Everyone from administration, the committee head and such. Appreciates what care we all offer to the local koalas in care.
