It is declared an "endangered" species under the commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act,[1] and "rare"[2] under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and now under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.[5] A major threat is from dieback due to Phytophthora cinnamomi (Phytophthora dieback).,[1][6] and from bushfires.[1]
