NSW Koala Sentinel monitoring program - genomics data 2023 - 2024

NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water

The Koala Sentinel Monitoring Program is a multi-year initiative designed to assess koala populations across six key locations in NSW. The program focuses on monitoring disease prevalence, genetic diversity, and ecological factors influencing koala populations. The data collected aims to identify and understand the complex interactions between environmental threats and koala population health, providing insights into long-term population trends. Since its launch, the program has completed one full monitoring cycle (Nov 2023 – Sept 2024) and is currently in its second round, which will conclude in September 2025.
