H5 bird flu has recently been detected in other parts of Australia, but not in Victoria.

Detecting it early helps us understand the risk and respond quickly if the disease reaches our state.

Avoid. Record. Report. Is a simple way you can help.

If you see sick or dead birds or wildlife:

👉 avoid contact

👉 record the exact location and what you observed

👉 report it online or call 1800 675 888.

We know people care deeply about wildlife and want to help when they see an animal in distress.

Injured wildlife may still need rescue and care, but if birds or wildlife appear sick, or dead, avoid contact and report it so trained responders can safely assess the situation.

Your report could help detect disease early and support our wildlife.
