Become a Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Corporate Partner Who we are…

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a not-for-profit organisation and registered charity that is committed to preservation of our environmental and cultural heritage. National Trust Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary proudly celebrates over 70 years of operation and is an iconic part of Gold Coast history. As one of

Queensland’s earliest nature-based tourist destinations, the Sanctuary is the physical embodiment of everything the National Trust represents.

Our History…

The Sanctuary was established by bee keeper and flower grower, Alex Griffiths who started feeding the wild lorikeets to prevent them from attacking his garden. The wild lorikeet feeding soon expanded to what is now the Wildlife Sanctuary set on 27 hectares in the beautiful beachside suburb of Currumbin. The Sanctuary is owned by the National Trust of Australia (Queensland). The Trust is a membership based charity that is committed to protecting, conserving and celebrating environmental, built and cultural heritage. The National Trust also operates the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital that cares for over 10,500 wildlife patients a year. This free community service operates with the kind donations and with the assistance of corporate partners.
