"I am honoured to be part of groundbreaking research on crocodiles in remote North Queensland," she captioned her post.

"Working with the University of Queensland and Australia Zoo is profoundly rewarding and I am so grateful to be alongside such inspiring individuals. This data is helping to conserve a keystone species and the habitat that supports them! 💚"

Buckey also changed her Instagram bio to read 'Wildlife Warrior', the same as seen on Irwin's account.

Previously, Buckey was studying a Bachelors degree of Science in Physiotherapy at Curtin University in Perth, but it seems she's now chosen to relocate to Sunshine Coast, Queensland to work alongside her boyfriend and his family.

It's unclear exactly when the duo started dating, however they were first spotted together in November 2022 in Queensland.

It wasn't until July, 2023 that they took their relationship public, making their official debut as a couple on the red carpet at the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One premiere in Sydney.

The duo have been doing long distance between Perth and Sunshine Coast ever since, however they've made sure to make the time to travel to each other.

Most recently, Buckey showed up to support her beau at the GQ awards where Irwin took home the prize for Man of The Year in the Special Force category.

Robert's sister Bindi also left a red heart emoji in the comments section.
