I Spy Koala

Koala Observations in NSW

I Spy Koala app is for the collection of koala observation and survey data for all koalas. For sick or injured koalas needing immediate care, also contact your local wildlife rehabilitation organisation.

This app was developed in 2019 by the then NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) to improve the flow of koala observation data to NSW planning and decision tools.

All submitted records will be combined with other koala observations and made available in BioNet, the repository for NSW biodiversity data. Records are searchable through BioNet and associated data services, including the SEED data portal where you can conveniently view the data using the interactive Koala Sightings - BioNet map. This data is accessible to researchers, land managers, planners, consultants, government and the public, and assists the implementation of long-term conservation strategies to secure healthy koala populations in the wild.
