Join passionate and dedicated conservationists in conserving the world’s most enchanting animals on a 3 day Koala or Tiger Quoll Conservation Program at the renowned Great Ocean Ecolodge, Cape Otway Victoria.

Become a member of the conservation team and contribute to the future of these most cherished of species.  Participate in inspiring fieldwork, learn about woodland ecology, gain skills in survey techniques and assist with the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned animals.

Conservation work is specific to each program and may include:

  • Population surveys: deploying, retrieving and reviewing camera traps
  • DNA collection for analysis
  • Habitat assessment surveys
  • Monitoring of habitat use and behaviour through telemetry (radio tracking collared koalas only)
  • Habitat restoration
  • Development of innovative habitat management techniques such as fire simulation
  • Gathering of eucalyptus leaves for injured and orphaned Koalas
  • Caring for resident tiger quolls.
It is not all about hard work though – in between conservation activities you can take in some of the sights of the Great Ocean Road including the Great Ocean Walk and Twelve Apostles or even just relax in the dappled shade of the eucalypts, watching the koalas dozing high in the trees above you. Stay in the Great Ocean Ecolodge which is perfectly located adjoining the Great Otway National Park and within the grounds of a conservation research and wildlife rehabilitation centre.

Each package includes:
  • Two nights accommodation at the Great Ocean Ecolodge
  • All meals
  • Research and conservation activities and related vehicle transfers
  • Tuition and guiding.

Transport: you have the option of being fully escorted from Melbourne or driving to the Ecolodge yourself.
