Protecting Nature for Wildlife
Visitors to our ecotourism attractions fund the vital research, conservation and education work we do. Our staff care for over 1,980 hectares of beaches, bushland and wetland reserves on Phillip Island. Can you help us fulfil the Nature Parks mission to protect nature for wildlife?

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live, work and learn, the Bunurong. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Welcome to Phillip Island Nature Parks
Only 90 minutes from Melbourne, Victoria's wildlife island features spectacular coastal scenery and plenty of Australian wildlife. Visit the Penguin Parade, see the koalas at the Koala Conservation Reserve, or let time unwind at Churchill Island.
Research
Our research is vital to our conservation work and helps us respond to threats and future challenges to wildlife. We're world-leaders in little penguin research and study other wildlife including Australian fur seals and coastal birds.
Conservation
We're a self-funded organisation and are all for conservation. Funds raised through ecotourism are invested into vital conservation programs across Phillip Island Nature Parks, including habitat protection, revegetation, wildlife rescue and pest plant and animal control.
Education
Our education team provides a wide range of immersive and educational experiences for all ages across marine, bushland, coastal and wetland habitats. We connect students with nature and empower positive environmental actions.
