A Perth organisation has called out a defecating jogger who has targeted its offices multiple times over several months.

Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia reported the strange behaviour, calling for public help after the “dodgy jogger” was caught on CCTV cameras on multiple occasions using its location at Osborne Park in Perth as a public bathroom.

“We have reported the matter to the police and the City of Stirling,” it said.

“Perhaps we need to leave some jogger doggy bags out. Apparently it’s becoming a common practice for joggers.”

The “poo jogger” struck the Perth support and advocacy organisation on three occasions between December 2024 and April 2025, all about 6am.

“Thankfully, the City of Stirling is increasing patrols around our (business) at that time,” ADSA said.

Some locals have recommended posting warnings in the area to discourage the woman from future acts.

“Stick some posters up of her pooping, near where she poops, so she can see images of herself,” one person said.

Poo joggers an ongoing problem

Last month, a dog walker was caught on CCTV defecating in a private driveway in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs.

A disgruntled resident taped signs to nearby poles, hoping to get the attention of the culprit who had left the unwanted surprise in her driveway.

“To the lady who defecated on our driveway at approximately 7.15am this morning (April 26) while walking your dog, you were recorded on our security cameras defecating on our private driveway,” the post read.

The homeowner gave the dog walker an ultimatum to return and clean the mess within 48 hours or photos from the footage would be circulated online.

In 2018, Brisbane businessman Andrew Macintosh was publicly shamed after he was caught on camera defecating outside an apartment building almost 30 times within a year.

A study by Monash University said gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common with athletes who participate in sport, noting some “may experience GI symptoms with an estimated prevalence of 30 per cent to 70 per cent”.

“It is particularly common in endurance athletes, with greater than 60 per cent of ultra endurance athletes reporting severe symptoms.”

However, some believe it is less of an accident caused by exercise, and more physiological.

Clinical psychologist Grant Brecht told the Sydney Morning Herald that the act can have an adrenalin rush similar to the feeling of taking a “hit of heroin”.
