About Us

The Melbourne Veterinary School, University of Melbourne, has a wide range of expertise in veterinary research and veterinary medicine across most species, domestic and wild. 

​

This project draws on all of that expertise, including pathology, diagnostics, microbiology, parasitology, epidemiology and clinical medicine. Koalas will receive a full necropsy at our state-of-the-art post mortem examination facilities at the School's Werribee campus. Diagnostic and research samples will be examined by relevant experts to provide insights into the diseases and health issues of koalas.
