The Yellow-throated Scrubwren is a ground-dwelling bird of rainforest and wet, densely vegetated gullies along Australia's east coast.
A black face and forehead are edged by a white-and-yellow eyebrow above and a bright yellow throat below. The back is dark olive-brown; the belly is white and the flanks olive. Females tend to have a brown face mask, and young birds are duller.
It occurs in rainforest and wet wooded gullies with dense vegetation. It forages on the ground for seeds, insects, and other small invertebrates.
