Injured or dead animals

Injured animals and wildlife

Pets and livestock

If you find an injured domestic animal or livestock, call our customer service team on (03) 5422 0333 for advice or assistance. Do not try to help the animal yourself as the animal may be in pain and will be unpredictable.

Wildlife

Report injured wildlife to Wildlife Victoria on 1300 094 535.

The Victorian Government also has information online about finding help for sick, injured or orphaned wildlife.

Dead animals

Depending on where a dead animal is located, it may be either VicRoads or Council that is the responsible authority.

Dead cattle, sheep or horses that are on a road can be a life-threatening danger to motorists and must be reported immediately. If you see a dead animal in a location that may be dangerous to other people call the Police on Triple zero (000). 

You can also report dead animals to our customer service team by calling (03) 5422 0333.
