No. Possums and koalas are both mammals and marsupials, but they are not in the same family.
True possums - those that are found in Australia and nearby islands - are divided into three families. These families are: the ringtail possums and gliders (Family Petauridae); the brushtail possums and cuscuses (Family Phalangeridae) and the pygmy possums and feathertail glider (Family Burramyidae).
Koalas are from the family Phascolarctidae.
