Bird Flu.
H5N1 is becoming well established in Australia. Australia's isolation has made us the last continent on Earth to be affected. Now that it is here, you can help. If you find multiple sick or dead birds or other animals do not touch them.
Follow these simple steps:
Avoid – do not contact.
Record – what you see with photos if you can.
Report – to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

H5 avian influenza (bird flu) has been confirmed in a migratory seabird found on an isolated beach in southern Western Australia. This is the first detection of H5 bird flu in Australia.

There have been no detections in poultry or additional native species.

Australia is well prepared to respond to H5 bird flu.

You can help. If you find multiple sick or dead birds or other animals do not touch them.

- Avoid – contact.
- Record – what you see.
- Report – to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
