- Philoria kundagungan (Mountain Frog) – proposed listing as Endangered
- Mixophyes iteratus (Giant Barred Frog) – proposed listing as Vulnerable

Anyone may nominate a native species, ecological community or threatening process for listing under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) or for a transfer of an item already on the list to a new listing category.
