Habitat and Ecology
The golden-tipped bat is found in rain forest and adjacent sclerophyll forest. It roosts in abandoned hanging Yellow-throated Scrubwren and Brown Gerygone nests located in rainforest gullies on small first and second order streams. It will fly up to two km from roosts to forage in rainforest and sclerophyll forest on upper-slopes. It is a specialist feeder on small web-building spiders.
The nests of the Yellow-throated Scrubwren appear to be the preferred daytime roosting sites.
