Platypuses are neither endangered nor threatened. The platypus which lives in the Daintree rainforest is exactly the same as the platypus of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, as there is only one species of platypus.

The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern".
