Being endemic to a fire prone area, the Mallee heath dragon have evolved to be resistant to fire events. Their semi-arboreal patterns and bipedal running ability allow them to avoid small low-intensity fires, however lower population sizes have been noted after significant fire events.

The taxonomic description of the Mallee heath dragon was published by Witten and
Coventry in 1984 and was updated by Hoser in 2015. the initial specimen was collected by Coventry and Norris in 1978 and was contained by the
