Conservation status

Grevillea epicroca is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It has a severely restricted distribution and a highly fragmented population, however, the species is not believed to be declining in population, habitat quality, extent of occurrence and area of occupancy and the full number of subpopulations is unknown. There are no known substantial threats to this species and the population is presumed to be largely stable.
