The South Australian Government has introduced Koala State number plates.
Plates cost $151* for an existing vehicle registration and $50 from each sale goes toward the South Australian Wildlife Rehabilitation Grants Program.
Wildlife carers, rehabilitators and rescuers with a valid South Australian permit can apply for grants of up to $5,000 to fund equipment or activities such as veterinary fees, vaccinations, food for wildlife, personal protective equipment and research. 13 grants have been awarded to individuals and not-for-profit organisations working in the rescue and rehabilitation sector under the first round of SA Wildlife Rehabilitation Grants.
A second round of grant funding is scheduled to be available in early 2025.
For more information, including a list of successful first round applicants, please read this short article.
*Koala Plates cost $120 for new vehicle registration or $151 for an existing vehicle registration, both inclusive of a $70 plate fee and additional $50 for the wildlife fund. A $31 number plate reallocation fee will be applicable for already registered SA vehicles.
