Riverland grower SMS alerts
If you’re a commercial grower in the Riverland, you can sign up to receive SMS alerts if there’s a confirmed Queensland fruit fly detection on your property. These alerts are one of the fastest ways to stay informed and protect your crops.
Why sign up?
- Early warning: If fruit fly is detected on your registered property, you’ll get a direct SMS — often before other channels like email or your packhouse can notify you.
- Act faster: Early knowledge means you can adjust baiting routines, review hygiene measures, and check at-risk areas before the risk spreads.
- Stay compliant: In some cases, PIRSA staff will need to visit your property for inspection or baiting. Alerts help you prepare in advance and avoid disruption.
- Protect your patch: Your quick response helps protect neighbouring properties and supports the Riverland’s pest-free status — critical for market access.
Signing up is free and takes just a few minutes.

- Your business name
- Your business ABN
- Your postal address (residential or a PO Box)
- The address information for all properties you'd like to receive an SMS for
