A Horsley Park call may be to a house, a market garden or a large work yard. Give the street number and the gate that reaches the sighting, especially when several entrances serve the same property.

Fairfield Council describes Horsley Park as a semi-rural part of the city. Large blocks, farming land and employment areas mean the animal may be well away from the home or reception building. Identify the shed, paddock or loading area without crossing the snake’s path.
Pause activity in the affected area. Tell the catcher about operating machinery, livestock, dogs and any gates that must stay closed. A safe meeting point at the entrance is more useful than sending someone into long grass to keep looking.
Do not lift sheeting, enter stored pipework or walk around the water’s edge to flush it out. Note the last side or corner where it was visible. Ask what a call-out can achieve if the snake is concealed, and confirm the fee before attendance.
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.
Fairfield Hospital: Polding Street and Prairievale Road, Prairiewood.
Ambulance services determine the appropriate hospital.
For a possible pet bite, contact a veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms or snake removal.
