From the time the koala joey is conceived, it is always a koala.
If the question means how long does it take to become an adult, koala joeys generally leave their mother by the next year's breeding season, when they are twelve months old. They are not considered mature until they reach reproductve age, which occurs from 2-3 years old.

What way does the koala's pouch face?
The female koala has an "upside down" or backward-opening pouch for two reasons. Firstly, the koala is built for climbing trees. It spends many of its waking hours climbing up and down trees and along tree branches, and this can mean that all sort of debris such as pieces of bark, twigs and leaves could accumulate in a pouch that opened at the top. Having the opening at the bottom (and an opening that is securely held closed by a sphincter-like muscle) means this does not happen. Secondly, it makes it easier for the young koala to feed once it gets older. After a baby koala is about 28-30 weeks old, the mother produces a substance called pap. This substance is actually a specialised form of the mother's droppings which, having passed through her digestive system, give the joey the enzymes it needs to be able to start digesting the tough gum leaves, making an easier transition for the baby koala to start eating eucalyptus leaves. The koala joey's head just needs to emerge from the backward-opening pouch to feed on this pap.
