It is threatened by habitat loss. The habitat of this species is almost exclusively on top of sandstone escarpments in the Northern Territory. In this very difficult to access terrain it is found to be not so rare. This habitat is not endangered by human encroachment other than by fires because of the extreme inaccessibility.
