The Yellow-footed antechinus reproduces sexually. They breed over a period of two weeks which usually occurs during August and September, and give birth in October.
Breeding is an exremely stressful time for the males, due to fighting, over-exertion and the fact that they do not eat during the two-week breeding season. All the males die after mating.

The yellow-footed antechinus is the most widespread of the antechinuses, and is found in a band from the Mt Lofty ranges in South Australia and the Grampians in western Victoria northeast to Eungella in North Queensland, as well as in a small area in southwest Western Australia. Most other species are found in smaller areas within this range. Some antechinuses such as the Atherton antechinus and the Cinnamon antechinus are found only in an extremely limited range in tropical North Queensland. Only the Fawn antechinus is found in the Northern Territory, in the Top End. The only antechinus in Tasmania is the Swamp antechinus.

Also, the Southern Brown bandicoot is a single species, found in restricted areas of Tasmania and the southern coasts of Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. Antechinus, on the other hand, include some 10 species, and are found almost exclusively in the eastern states, with the exception of the Fawn antechinus (located in the Top End of the Northern Territory) and the Yellow-footed antechinus which is found in a small part of south Western Australia, as well as the eastern states.
