Acacia pataczekii is listed as Rare under the Threatened Species Protection (TSP) Act 1995 under Tasmanian legislation. It is an offense to destroy or collect wild material without a permit. Restrictions apply to the export of plant material however there is no regulation to import the seed in to Australia. Healthy populations exist on reserved land at Ben Lomond National Park, Gravelly Ridge Conservation Area and St Paul's Regional Reserve. Other populations occur on private land and timber production forest. Special precaution must be taken when timber is harvested and mineral prospectors may not pursue mining licenses due to potential damage and conservation requirements. Ex situ conservation measures include seed orchards and restoration plantings and stored seed. Increasing fire frequency, land clearing, insect attack and Phytophthora cinnamomi appear to be the greatest threats which would be lessened with an increase in areas reserved. Acacia pataczekii is not known to be an invasive species outside of its native range.
