Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary at Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary

Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary is a wildlife attraction located at 562 Gan Gan Road, One Mile, in the Port Stephens region north of Sydney. The sanctuary focuses on the care, rehabilitation and preservation of sick, injured and orphaned koalas, giving visitors direct access to these animals within their natural bush habitat. A highlight of the site is the Newcastle Airport SKYwalk, an elevated treetop canopy boardwalk and observation platform that provides close-range views of koalas at height, along with strong opportunities for photography from above the canopy.

All-day admission includes an educational tour covering koala care, rehabilitation processes and the conditions koalas require to survive in the wild. The boardwalk and viewing platform are fully wheelchair accessible, making the sanctuary suitable for a wide range of visitors. The sanctuary sits within a broader region of Sydney attractions worth combining into a longer itinerary. Tickets cover full-day entry and the guided educational component, with no cancellation permitted after booking, so visitors should confirm their travel plans before purchasing.
