Yes. Koalas are not monogamous, so once the male has mated, he moves on. The female raises her joey alone.

∙ 14y agoAfter mating, male koalas do not stay around at all. They have nothing to do with the mother again, so they certainly have nothing to do with the young joeys.

∙ 12y agoNo. Male koalas have no part at all in raising the joey. Once the parents have finished mating, the male moves on to another female.

When koalas move do they move together or alone?
Koalas do not travel except when they are moving around between their home trees. Koalas are essentially solitary animals, but they live in communities where the social structure is quite complex. Koalas are territorial, but each koala within the social group has its own specific range for feeding, which may or may not overlap the range of its neighbour. There is always one dominant male in each social group, but he is by no means the only male. Koalas do feed alone and travel alone, but they understand their own social structure. When one of their community dies, another does not immediately move in and take its place. It takes about a year for the scent of the previous occupant to fade, and only then will another koala move in to its range.

Are koalas solitary?
Yes and no. Koalas live in complex social communities where there is a dominant male. Territorial disputes occur (and can be heard at night in suburban areas where koalas may live) when a younger male is trying to assert his dominance. Koalas have a number of trees in their home range, which may overlap with other koalas' trees, but they can peacefully occupy the same tree within their range. Apart from that, although they live in communities, they do not have a great deal of interaction with each other, except during breeding season.
