How H5 bird flu can impact our wildlife

H5 bird flu is the most serious type of bird flu. If it becomes established in Australia, it could harm common birds and threatened native species like Tasmanian devils and quolls.

This resource explains how you can help: don’t touch dead wildlife, and keep pets away. If you see sick or dead animals, report them to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline.
