No. Koalas do not hibernate.
Koalas are not bears, despite often wrongly being referred to as koala bears, so their physiology is quite different to that of bears, many of which do hibernate.
Australia has an essentially temperate climate, which means that koalas do not need to hibernate. Koalas' food source remains constant, and they sleep 18-22 hours a day anyway, as that is the nature of their metabolism.

Australia has an essentially temperate climate, including in winter, which means that koalas do not need to hibernate.

The only Australian marsupial that actually hibernates is the Mountain Pygmy Possum, whose habitat is the Australian Alps, which are snow-covered in winter.
