Know what to do when a snake is found

If you see a snake, keep calm and try to move yourself, anyone with you and your pets away from it.

If someone is bitten by a snake, call 000 immediately.

If you require a snake to be removed from private property, engage a licensed snake catcher to remove it at your own expense. Local snake catchers can be found by searching online.
