About Us

Dolphin Marine Rescue Animal Rehab Trust  (DMRART) - previously known as CHART - is a Trust that has been created to facilitate the treatment and rehabilitation of native wildlife. The primary goal of DMRART is to construct a purpose built wildlife hospital capable of treating all native species but with a particular focus on the treatment of koalas and marine fauna. There is currently no such facility between Currumbin Wildlife Hospital on the Gold Coast and Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

In addition to this, DMRART also seeks to investigate and report matters of wildlife disease, educate students and the public on matters of conservation and the importance of biodiversity and liaise with local government and existing organizations dealing with native wildlife.
