Offering Advice


Do not touch or attempt to move UXO! Mark the location and inform the Police. They will instigate a request for Defence personnel to 
attend and dispose of the item. The Department of Defence will provide advice on the hazards associated with UXO to all Commonwealth, State and Local Government Authorities and private organisations or individuals who request it.

Defence is actively engaged in identifying areas where UXO are likely to be present. Members of the public can assist in this process. If you have any information that may be of assistance please contact UXO@defence.gov.au
