May 3, 2025: The Koala Election.
The 2025 Australian federal government election will be held on the same day as Wild Koala Day. What a great omen!
Wild Koala Day is in its ninth year. Every year since 2016, Wild Koala Day has been celebrated all over Australia and the world. Politicians, government departments, celebrities, sports stars and universities post about it. This year, at this important election, koalas are ready to stand as a symbol for all wildlife: Don’t forget us, and don’t take us for granted.
This is our chance to put koalas at the top of everyone’s mind. Whichever government is elected on Wild Koala Day, they need to know that protecting koalas (and all biodiversity) is important to Australians.

Wild Koala Day was proposed in 2016 by Koala Clancy Foundation, and started by a network of independent community conservation groups. It is a national day to celebrate wild koalas and protect the forests they need to survive. Recognising the importance of grass-roots conservation and local knowledge, each group celebrates in their own way. Wild Koala Day events range from koala tree planting, citizen science koala surveys, market and field days, fundraisers, educational workshops, book launches and art shows.
