Funnel Web Spider Collection for Australian Reptile Park Antivenom Program

Hawkesbury City Council has been participating in the Australian Reptile Park funnel web spider antivenom program for many years and Council began collecting data in March 2023. Their antivenom program started in 1981. Since then, there have been zero deaths recorded due to funnel-web spider bites. Funnel web spiders can be dropped off at our Service Centre. We encourage residents to follow the Australian Reptile Park funnel web spider and sac collection guidelines. Learn more about how they milk spiders and lifesaving antivenom program.
