🎃 Trick or Treat? We'd choose treats every time! 🐾

This Halloween, remember to keep chocolate, lollies and decorations away from curious paws and whiskers. A little extra care helps ensure a safe and happy spooky season for everyone.

Bird Flu – What Our Community Needs to Know

Australia is currently free of H5N1, but the risk from migratory wild birds is higher than usual. If you spot a sick or dead bird, here’s what to do:

Avoid contact — Don’t touch or move the bird. This helps prevent disease spread.

Record details — Note the time, date, location, and what you observed. Photos/videos are helpful if taken without handling the bird.

Report immediately — Call the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline: 1800 675 888 (available 24/7).

Quick action protects our wildlife, pets, and community. Spread the word to help keep Australia HPAI‑free.
