What do I need to do during Avian Flu outbreaks?

Check current instructions from your state or territory animal-health authority. Restrictions can differ between areas and change during an outbreak. Keep wildlife away from feed and water, limit unnecessary visitors and clean equipment. Do not sell, move or introduce birds in conflict with official directions. Report unusual illness or deaths promptly.

Check your own state or territory

Directions may include movement restrictions and changes to housing or contact with wild birds. Use the relevant Australian authority’s current guidance rather than historic rules from another location.
