Conditions of Entry
Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)
Current situation
Last updated 13 June 2025
There have been no new cases of H7N8 high pathogenicity bird flu since late February 2025.
As a consequence of successfully implementing disease eradication activities, quarantine has been revoked on the 4 infected properties near Euroa and the control order surrounding the area has been lifted.
There are no longer movement restrictions around the Euroa area.
This progress is a significant step towards establishing Australia’s claim to freedom from high pathogenicity avian influenza.
Any suspicion of an emergency animal disease (EAD) should be immediately reported to the 24-hour EAD Hotline on 1800 675 888 or to your local vet.
Keeping poultry safe at bird shows
Bird shows are not allowed within the control area during an outbreak.
Outside this area, bird shows are a great opportunity for breeders and exhibitors to showcase breeds and compete for coveted titles. However, disease can spread because of close contact between birds and handlers from different locations.
Biosecurity measures at bird shows to help prevent the spread of diseases include:
- Don’t bring any birds to the show if there’s illness in the home flock.
- Clean and disinfect all bird equipment, cages and containers before and after shows.
- Judges and handlers should disinfect hands between birds where possible. Exhibitors should only handle their own birds.
- Ensure you quarantine show birds for 14 days before they’re reintroduced to the home flock.
- Keep records of bird movements to assist traceback in the event of a disease outbreak.
