Police were alerted to reports of a dog attack in Fitzroy Crossing, a remote town situated approximately 2,400 kilometres north of Perth, at around midday. Upon arrival at the scene, officers found the woman deceased.

A man, also in his 20s, was transported to Fitzroy Hospital for treatment of injuries which were not life-threatening. Police have confirmed that two dogs were involved in the fatal attack.

Western Australian police are conducting investigations into the incident. A spokesperson for the Western Australian Police Force stated: "About 12pm on Sunday 30 November 2025, police responded to reports of a dog attack in Fitzroy Crossing.
