## Resource

H5N1 is spreading fast across Australia — six new suspected cases in Victoria, five from crested terns near Portland and Nelson Bay, following the first confirmed case. Already active in SA, WA, NSW, and QLD, this bird flu demands action: avoid sick or dead wildlife, report sightings immediately, and help experts track its movement through daily surveillance and lab testing at CSIRO.
