The southern hairy-nosed wombat is not considered to be endangered and is classified as "Secure in restricted areas".

They are somewhat protected simply because their home range is on the coastal strip of the Nullabor Plain and away from cities and people.

Apart from that, the southern hairy-nosed wombat is a protected species as are all Australian native animals.
