Species assessed as ineligible for listing

The following species were assessed for listing as threatened species by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee but were found to be ineligible. The Minister accepted the Committee's advice and decided the species did not meet the requirements for listing, on the date indicated next to each species. Assessments (listing advices) are also available for species assessed as data deficient and therefore ineligible for listing for reasons of inadequate data.

Each species name links to its Species Profile and Threats Database (SPRAT) profile, where the Committee's advice to the Minister can be found.
