DINGO MANAGEMENT IN QUEENSLAND
"We have this mindset that we have to kill dingoes, because that is what we have always done.”
Angus Emmott
Landholders for Dingoes
“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.”
Albert Einstein
In order to advocate for the protection of Dingoes in Queensland you need to understand and be informed who the key stakeholders are and how they lobby governments to influence policy/legislative changes.
Please Note:
The term 'wild dog' refers collectively to purebred dingoes, dingo hybrids, and domestic dogs that have escaped or been deliberately released.
The wild dog (Dingo) is a restricted invasive animal under the Queensland Biosecurity Act 2014, which means all landholders have a responsibility to minimise the risks associated with invasive animals under their control. Wild dogs cannot be moved, kept (if a dingo), fed, given away, sold or released into the environment without a permit.

The Queensland Wild Dog Management Strategy
2021-2026
The Queensland Wild Dog Management Strategy has been developed by QDOG in consultation with stakeholders and replaces the former Queensland Wild Dog Management Strategy 2011-2016.
The strategy is complementary to the National Wild Dog Action Plan 2020-2030, which guides the implementation of a nationally agreed framework for wild dog management.
Coordination among jurisdictions and consistency at a national level is important because of shared borders and the widespread, mobile nature of wild dogs.
The strategy reflects the guiding principles and themes in the Queensland Invasive Plants and Animals Strategy 2019-2024 and alignment with the themes of the Queensland Biosecurity Strategy 2018-2023.
