To all FAWNA members and members of the public that might come across native animals, please read the updated Tularemia factsheet.

Tularaemia is a rare disease caused by Francisella tularensis bacteria. Infections usually occur through handling of infected animals, bites of an infected ticks, consumption of contaminated food, or contact with contaminated water.

Most infections are reported from the northern hemisphere.
To date there have been four locally acquired cases of
tularaemia reported in Australia. Threeinfections have been linked to bites/scratches from infected possums: two confirmed cases in Tasmania (one linked to a ringtail and the other to an unidentified species of possum) and a probable case in NSW (linked to a ringtail possum). The fourth infection is believed to have been acquired in a laboratory setting, and the implicated species of Australian animal has not been identified.

Australia’s 15,000+ wildlife volunteers work hard, under intense conditions. The Wildlife Heroes: Caring for Carers Podcast aims to start a mental health conversation to support our volunteers to look after themselves and each other.

The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife (FNPW) teamed up with podcast producer Gretchen Miller, wildlife carers and mental health experts to share stories and perspectives about climate worry, personal wellbeing, community conflict, catastrophic events, and supporting others.

The podcast was funded through the Australian Government’s $50 million bushfire wildlife and habitat recovery package and is part of a broader mental health support program that FNPW is rolling out through its Wildlife Heroes project.
