FrogID Week (7-16 Nov 2025)

Join the 8th FrogID Week event to assist in the understanding of frogs and the environmental health around the country.

Each year the Australian Museum hosts Australia’s biggest frog count. You’re probably wondering, how does tracking frogs across Australia help us understand the health of our environment? Read along to find out and discover how you can take part in Australia’s biggest frog count.

Purpose:

Each year, anyone with a smartphone can help record frog calls using the free FrogID app. These recordings allow scientists to monitor frog populations and distribution over time, helping us understand how frogs and their ecosystems are responding to our changing planet.

How to get involved:

Can you record one frog a day?

Getting involved is simple! Follow these three steps to get started:

1. Download the free FrogID app from the Apple Store or Google Play.

2. Join in during FrogID Week (7-16 November) head out on a nature walk and aim to record one frog call each day.

3. Watch the ‘How to use FrogID‘ video to learn more.

Will you be the next Top Frogger?

Taking part in FrogID Week gives you the chance to become this year’s Top Frogger!
Submit verified frog recordings between 7–16 November to go in the running for the title.
The participant with the most verified submissions will win a FrogID prize pack valued at $235.

Visit the FrogID website for more information.

Recordings don't have to stop with FrogID Week

FrogID Week might end, but your frog-spotting doesn’t have to! By continuing to record frog calls all year round, you’ll make a real difference in helping scientists understand how our environment is changing. Each recording adds valuable data about where frogs live, how populations are tracking, and how ecosystems are responding to things like climate and habitat change. So next time you’re out on your daily walk or relaxing in the backyard, listen for a croak or a chirp, record it on the FrogID app and help protect Australia’s unique frog species.
