Give the snake room. Do not touch, trap, chase or try to kill it.
Move children and pets indoors or behind a closed door.
If you can do so safely, note where it goes. Never corner it.
Tell us the suburb, the last clear location and any immediate risks.
How it works
We ask for the suburb, the last reliable position, whether the animal is indoors or outside, and any risk to children, pets, neighbours or workers. Current coverage depends on catcher location, traffic, access and active jobs, so we confirm the situation instead of quoting a fictional standard arrival time.
Native reptiles are protected in NSW. Catch and release work requires the appropriate authorisation, practical handling experience, current first aid and public liability cover. Ask about the person attending if you need those details confirmed.

SnakeSafe Sydney uses a network of catchers covering Greater Sydney. When you call, the useful information is simple: your suburb, where the snake was last seen, whether people or pets are close, and whether access is straightforward.
We don’t advertise a made-up ten-minute arrival or pretend every catcher is always free. We check current coverage and give you a clear answer.
