• Yes. Ironbark Wildlife Management is fully licensed, certified, and carries comprehensive commercial liability insurance specifically tailored for large-scale vertebrate pest management and rural broad-acre operations.

Not for invasive species. Deer, foxes, feral pigs, and rabbits are declared pests in Victoria. However Native species are protected in Victoria. To conduct native wildlife mitigation, you must hold an active Authority to Control Wildlife (ATCW) permit from DEECA. We can guide you through the technical application details on-site so you can nominate us as your authorised field agent.

Yes. Effective vertebrate pest management mostly requires operations at dusk, dawn, or during night hours depending on the target species' activity. We coordinate closely with property managers to schedule fieldwork at optimal times that minimize disruption to your daytime farm operations.

We take farm biosecurity very seriously. All vehicles, boots, and field equipment undergo strict wash-down and sanitation protocols between property lines. This ensures we prevent the spread of soil-borne diseases, weeds, or pathogens between orchards, vineyards, and agricultural zones.

Our services are tailored for high-value agricultural assets. We primarily specialize in commercial fruit orchards, viticulture properties (vineyards), broad-acre cropping farms, and livestock stations where invasive or native pests impact yield and infrastructure.

• We deploy advanced thermal imaging and high-resolution digital night vision optics. This cutting-edge technology allows us to survey expansive acreage in total darkness and maintain positive target identification across large distances. All nocturnal operations are strictly coordinated with property management in advance to ensure maximum field safety and highly efficient population control.

Safety is our absolute priority. We operate under strict, documented Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and complete a property-specific Job Safety Analysis (JSA) before any tool is deployed. These frameworks ensure clear exclusion zones, identified backstops, and full alignment with your property’s workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements.
