Bounty program update
The Victorian Government has recently announced the continuation of the Victorian Fox Bounty to 30 June 2026. The reward payments will remain at the increased rate of $14 per fox scalp.
In line with previous years, the bounty program will cease temporarily in October 2025 and recommence in March 2026. Please refer to the bounty collection schedule for a list of times, dates and locations.
