Yes. The koala is native, and endemic to, Australia alone. It is not, however, found throughout the mainland, but occurs naturally in the eastern states alone. New colonies have been introduced to the far southwest of Western Australia.
They are not found anywhere else, except in selected zoos.

∙ 12y agoNo. The koala lives mostly within the temperate zones of eastern Australia. Its habitat is eucalypt woodland and bushland, but of the several hundred species of eucalyptus ("gum trees"), koalas prefer about 60 varieties, with their specific preferences being limited to a couple of dozen. After that, there are still just one or two key species that a koala population must have to thrive, even if the number of trees of that species is only small.
Koalas are not found in Western Australia naturally anymore, but have recently been reintroduced in colonies in the soiuthwestern regions of WA. They can be found along the eastern and south-eastern coastal regions. They live in cool temperate zones, right up to hot, sub-tropical zones. They live in eucalyptus trees and are mostly nocturnal and eat certain types of eucalypt leaves exclusively.
Koalas live in a range of habitats, as long as there are abundant eucalyptus trees of the sort they prefer. They are found on coastal islands, tall eucalypt forests, bushland and low woodlands inland.

Specifically, they are found only in the eastern mainland states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and eastern South Australia.A few selected zoos around the world have koalas in captivity, but in order to have these koalas, the zoos must ensure they have enough of the right type of eucalyptus leaves.
