In late 2025, major amendments to Australia’s flagship environmental legislation passed Parliament. These amendments are progressively commencing through 2026, alongside the development of key statutory instruments. This presentation will explore the amendments and reflect on what they mean for Australia’s wildlife and the habitats they depend upon. This is likely to be of interest to the veterinary community who engage with wildlife.
