The ACT government has confirmed the territory's first case of avian influenza has been detected at a Canberra farm, which has been quarantined.

Biosecurity authorities said the virus was brought to the ACT from New South Wales via the transporting of eggs and associated materials for commercial grading.

They said the territory was "well positioned to respond to this event, which is localised to a single property".
