Appin is in Wollondilly, south of Campbelltown, and forms part of the Greater Macarthur growth area. Established homes, rural land and bushland edges sit close together. Explain whether the sighting is at the dwelling, a shed or a more distant part of the property.
Mention long driveways, locked gates, livestock and any rough ground before a catcher sets out. Keep people at a safe meeting point rather than sending someone to wait beside the snake. Do not enter rocky gullies or thick vegetation once it disappears.
Pause work around the affected stack or trench. Leave materials undisturbed and ask one site contact to record the last sighting. Attendance depends on catcher availability and travel; confirm the current estimate and what the fee includes.
Keep people and pets away. Do not approach, trap or disturb the snake, and do not search concealed spaces if it disappears. Watch only from a safe position; a photograph is useful only if you can take it without moving closer. Read the full snake safety guide.
Suspected snakebite: call 000 immediately. Keep the person still and follow the ambulance operator’s instructions. Do not wait for a catcher.
Campbelltown Hospital: Therry Road, Campbelltown.
Ambulance services determine the appropriate hospital.
For a possible pet bite, contact a veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms or snake removal.
