Do not eat wild mushrooms – advice about death cap mushrooms
Death cap mushrooms grow in the ACT. They can grow anywhere in our region, at any time.
It is hard to distinguish a death cap mushroom from an edible mushroom, even for experienced collectors.
Do not touch or eat wild mushrooms, and keep children and pets away from them.
All parts of the death cap mushroom are poisonous. Cooking, soaking, freezing, peeling or drying does not make them safe. Eating even a small amount of a death cap mushroom can kill you.
If you think you may have eaten a death cap mushroom, urgently seek medical attention at a hospital emergency department. Do not wait for symptoms to occur. The chances of survival increase where treatment is started early. Take any remaining mushroom to the hospital for identification.
If you think a death cap mushroom may be growing in a public area, report it to Access Canberra by phone 13 22 81 or use the online form www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/city-services/fix-my-street.
If you are concerned about wild mushrooms growing at your home, remove them using gloves or a tool and dispose of them with your household rubbish.
Find more information on death cap mushrooms (including some translated resources) at www.act.gov.au/health/topics/environmental-hazards/death-cap-mushrooms.

Early Childhood VET Taster Course
ACT public school term dates
The ACT public school term dates for 2026-2030, including student-free days, are now available on the Education Directorate’s website.
Each year, the first day of every term is a student-free day. We use student-free days for staff development, enabling us to plan in a student-free environment.
Use these dates when planning your future holidays.
Free Period Products Available at ACT Schools
All ACT public schools are stocked with free period products so students can access them no matter their circumstances. This is part of the ACT Government’s commitment to ensuring students feel comfortable and confident within our schools.
Free period products are available at our school’s front office. Students can access them at any time by talking to our helpful front office staff.
Sanitary pads are available from the front offices of primary schools, while pads and tampons are available at the front offices of high schools and colleges.
Because menstruation is a fact of life, we believe free access to period products should be too.
fTo learn more about this equity initiative and other places where free period products are available, please visit: https://www.act.gov.au/community/women/free-period-products
Become a Homestay Host
Are you interested in broadening your family’s cultural experiences and forming lifelong friendships?
The ACT Education Directorate is seeking Homestay hosts for international students planning to study at an ACT public high school or college.
By becoming a Homestay host, you’ll not only provide a room and meals, but you’ll also welcome a young person into your family and support their growth as they gain new perspectives, confidence, English fluency, and academic and essential life skills.
International students participating in the Homestay program are aged 16 years or above. If you have the time to support a student’s social wellbeing and academic endeavours, and have an interest in other cultures, we would love to hear from you.
A weekly payment will be provided to help cover the costs of living expenses.
Find out more at bit.ly/HomestayCanberra or email ieu@act.gov.au, or call 02 6205 9194.
