The few remaining Regent Honeyeaters live along the east coast of Australia. They are no longer found in south-western Victoria, and are likely extinct in South Australia.

The loss of the box-ironbark forests is the major reason for the diminishing number of Regent Honeyeaters. The forests have been cut down for agriculture, suffer from dieback, and have been removed for their timber.

These birds have become a 'flagship species' for conservation in the threatened box-ironbark forests of Victoria and NSW on which it depends. These birds help maintain healthy populations of eucalyptus trees through pollination, providing important food and habitat for many other native animals.
