A bushwalker has been located safe and well after emergency services were contacted about his welfare this afternoon.

About 5.30pm, emergency services were dispatched to Mount Murchison after a call about concerns for the welfare of an injured walker.

The man in his 30s had lost his footing and fell several metres, hitting his head. The man was undertaking a solo walk, but was with another walking group at the time. A member of the group contacted Tasmania Police.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was deployed. However the man had continued his walk despite concerns for his welfare. He was located safe after he finished the walk and given advice about contacting emergency services, to ensure both his safety and efficient use of search and rescue efforts.
