Welcome to the RabbitScan homepage for the Mallee Region. The RabbitScan Mallee mapping system was launched in Ouyen in late September 2018. This page has been designed to help you use the RabbitScan resource, learn about rabbits, the damage they cause, management techniques and how the Mallee region is working together to stay on top of rabbit populations in the local area. Landholders can utilise this resource to map rabbit problems, using the online map or smart phone App. The local council, Mallee Catchment Management Authority and private contractors can use the information that you provide to work with you and your local rabbit control group to minimise the impacts of wild rabbits.

Best practice rabbit management is achieved when communities work together to record information about their rabbit problems, then plan and implement coordinated control using a range of management techniques.

RabbitScan Resources
RabbitScan is a web site and mobile App that allows you to record rabbit sightings, damage and control. Records are displayed on an interactive mapping interface. Once a member of the Mallee RabbitScan Group, you can send instant alerts to other members in the same group, for example your neighbours and local biosecurity officers, containing information from your records. These alerts will inform them of new rabbit activity and hot spots in the local area. Group records are kept 'private', meaning that community members not registered in the group can not see the information on the map. The FeralScan App allows you to record while in the paddock and also works without mobile reception.

Mallee RabbitScan Group
The Mallee RabbitScan Group is committed to reducing the impacts of rabbit populations. The information you provide is uploaded onto the map, and landholders, professional pest controllers and biosecurity authorities can use this information to plan for rabbit management. The more information you record onto the map, the clearer the picture becomes for wild rabbit problems within the Mallee region.
