It occurs along much of the eastern coast of Australia.It is generally found in areas with more than 500 mm (20 in) of annual rainfall.
It is nocturnal, roosting in sheltered places during the day such as inside Eucalyptus tree hollows or in buildings.It is insectivorous, often foraging near habitat edges.
It is listed as least concern by the IUCN—its lowest conservation priority.It meets the criteria for this category because it has a very large extent of occurrence, a large estimated area of occupancy, it uses a wide variety of habitats, and its range includes protected land.However, the IUCN assessment does express uncertainty over its population trend; it is unknown if its population is stable or declining.
