Tips for using this tool:
- There are several mandatory fields marked with a * that are required before you will be allowed to submit your form – these include the date and location of the sighting. Make sure you check these are done if the form won’t submit.
- If you see a mum and bub together submit the one form and select ‘Adult Female with young’.
- Try uploading a photo if you feel confident – we’d love to see your koalas!
- Give as much information as possible, the more the better!
If you have any questions or comments regarding this new method, please do not hesitate to email. We’d love to straighten out any issues.
