Volunteers at Port Macquarie Koala Hospital normally process about 250 Adopt a Wild Koala applications a month.

That number rose to thousands of adoptions from late October to the end of November.

Just under half those were e-adoptions with the remainder split between international and Australian supporters.

The adoption supporters come from as far as the United Kingdom, Brazil, China, USA, Germany and Spain.

Thousands more koala adoptions have flowed through in December and workstations have been set up to process the adoption applications.

Purchases through the koala hospital's online shop have also skyrocketed.

The online shop averages about 20 orders a month but almost 700 orders went out in the first 19 days of December.

Proceeds from the online shop and koala adoptions help support the koala hospital's work.

Port Macquarie Koala Hospital office manager Wendy Afford said the team was absolutely blown away with the support.

"If there is a silver lining in all of this, it is the heartwarming support from the community," she said.

"It's just absolutely wonderful people care so much and they are not scared to show they care."

A GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $2 million.

The bulk of the funds raised will be directed towards establishing a wild koala breeding program to help rebuild the koala population after the fires.

The funds will go into a separate account in a transparent process.

Port Macquarie Koala Hospital clinical director Cheyne Flanagan said the plans were to put together two, even three, koala breeding facilities as an insurance policy against future fires.

The fundraising will also go towards 100 drinking stations in bushfire-affected areas to help koalas and other wildlife, as well as a water carrying vehicle.

Wildlife drinking stations have been installed in areas including Bingara and Moree, the Northern Rivers, Rosewood and Bellangry.

More drinking stations will come in other areas as needed.

Koalas rescued from the fire grounds are in care at the koala hospital after search and rescue teams surveyed the burnt-out bush for injured koalas and other wildlife.
