All donations to Friends of the Koala Inc. go to directly towards the cost of koala rehabilitation. FOK has a strong policy of supporting its carers by providing medications and supplements at no cost.

It can cost over $20 a week to provide the food alone that a sick koala needs.

Medications and supplements can be a further $20 a week for a koala requiring a standard chlamydial treatment. If there are any complications or specialised veterinary care is necessary then the costs increase rapidly.

To raise a young orphan koala costs several hundred dollars in specalised milk formulas as koala joeys are in care for many many months.

Building a suitable enclosure for housing koalas costs a minimum of $500 for materials alone.

All donations over $2 are tax deductable.
