Australia’s wildest locals

From the rainforest to woodlands, wetlands, and the arid outback, each step along the journey represents an important Australian environment – iconic inhabitants included. 

Cuddle a koala, pat a dingo, and even pole feed our resident salty croc star, Goliath. Or relax amongst the hopping kangaroos, roaming cassowaries, and catch glimpses of our rarest native species in the Native Nook.  

You can even peep on our nighttime-loving mates at Nocturnal House, where twilight effects help the owls, squirrel gliders, and carpet python feel right at home.  

With daily wildlife talks and the chance for up-close animal encounters, the Wildlife Precinct is your spot to connect with Australia’s wild side.

ZAA Accreditation

ZAA grants accreditation to zoos and aquariums that have clearly demonstrated their commitment to positive welfare. They provide training and advice, ensuring zoos and aquariums think deeply about the welfare of the animals in their care and strive for continuous improvement.

By law, the government requires zoos and aquariums to meet minimum standards to protect animals from bad welfare. The ZAA Accreditation Program goes further, focusing on good welfare. It asks the question, is the animal having a fulfilling life of positive experiences? 

ZAA-accredited zoos and aquariums operate to the highest levels. They must be assessed every three years to retain their accreditation status. International members are assessed yearly.
