Overview
- The Sydney family says a long‑tailed macaque jumped from the father onto their daughter and bit her on the neck during a visit to the popular sanctuary in Ubud.
- Park first‑aid staff reportedly washed the wound and downplayed rabies concerns, prompting the parents to seek immediate care at a nearby clinic.
- Clinicians administered multiple rabies vaccine injections, including into and around the bite, and prescribed medication for herpes B virus.
- Because travel insurance funds were not immediately accessible, the family covered a 69 million IDR (over $4,100/£3,000) bill out of pocket.
- Authorities have issued travel advisories noting rabies risk in parts of Indonesia, and reports offer no confirmation that the biting animal tested positive as the child recovers.
