No. As of 2013, koalas are not classified as endangered in Australia. There has been considerable lobbying to list them as endangered, but only in April 2013 were they even listed as Vulnerable.

Are Queensland koalas endangered?

The koala is not endangered. They are considered to be "Secure". The conservation status of koalas varies from region to region in Australia. For example, due to farming, land clearing and habitat loss, native koalas were eradicated from Western Australia and South Australia in the last century, but moves have been made to reestablish new colonies in both states. Currently, koalas are thriving on Kangaroo Island in SA, and in other isolated colonies. Koalas are still listed as "common" in most parts of Queensland, but in the southeast region of Queensland, their status has been changed to "vulnerable". the NSW Givernment listed the koala as "rare and vulnerable" in 1992, and following protective measures, this has been changed to "vulnerable". In Victoria, the koala is not on the threatened species list at all, and in some protected and remote regions, there is actually an overpopulationproblem.
