If you see a group (3 or more) sick or dead animals, call the MAF Biosecurity Hotline: MAF 0800 90 99 66.

You will be asked questions about what you saw. This will include what species, how many and where it happened. They will either pass on the report to a biosecurity investigator or they will advise you of what to do next.
