Quoin Island Turtle Rehabilitation Centre (QITRC) is located on Quoin Island in the Gladstone Harbour, the gateway to the Southern Great Barrier Reef. We are dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of critically endangered and endangered sea turtles.
QITRC opened in March 2012, and is our region's first sea turtle rehabilitation facility. We service Central Queensland, from Yeppoon to Agnes Water, about 300km of coastline.
Sea turtles are constantly at risk of injury or illness. They are heavily impacted by environmental events like flooding, and the constant threat of human interference such as fishing, boating and littering.
Each turtle requires an unique assessment and care program, with successful rehabilitation taking many months. The centre has a steady success rate of 71%, which means the majority of our patients are successfully rehabilitated and released back into the wild.
QITRC receives no income or government funding, and is run through the support of local businesses, individuals and passionate volunteers.
If you’ve spotted a sea turtle in distress or are concerned about a turtle, please phone the centre directly on 0408 431 304.
