Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is one of Australia’s most beloved wildlife attractions, located in Currumbin on Queensland’s Gold Coast. The sanctuary specialises in native Australian fauna, offering visitors close encounters with kangaroos, koalas, wombats, Tasmanian devils, and a spectacular diversity of native birds. One of the sanctuary’s most iconic experiences is its free-flight bird show, which has delighted visitors for decades. Currumbin is operated by the National Trust of Australia (Queensland), and all profits are reinvested into conservation and wildlife care. A central part of its mission is the wildlife hospital, which is one of Australia’s busiest and most respected, treating thousands of sick and injured native animals each year, including victims of vehicle strike and habitat loss. Visitors can observe the hospital’s work through observation windows and educational presentations. The sanctuary also participates in breeding programmes for threatened species. Its combination of interactive wildlife experiences, genuine conservation work, and rehabilitation services makes Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary one of the most purposeful and rewarding wildlife destinations in Australia.
