About Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is the largest property under the banner of the National Trust of Australia (Queensland). It was gifted to the National Trust in 1976 by founder and conservationist Alex Griffiths. National Trust is a not-for-profit organisation, which relies on donations to protect, conserve, and celebrate our environmental, built, and cultural heritage. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is home to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, which offers a free community service to treat, rehabilitate and release sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.
