The following management actions are required to aid the Christmas Island Goshawk viability and recovery:

1. Adequate resourcing of the identified management activities for the species, in particular, the crazy ant action plan;
2. Prevention of illegal destruction of goshawks by Christmas Island residents;
3. Quarantine prevention of the introduction of new avian pathogens;
4. Quarantine prevention of the introduction of new invasive weeds; and
5. Quarantine prevention of the introduction of new predators.

This taxon is dependent on active conservation management.

Any action which would remove nesting sites, potential nesting sites or feeding habitat could result in a significant impact on the species and requires referral to the Commonwealth Environment Minister under the EPBC Act.
