Several strains of bird flu have been detected in 11 poultry facilities across southeast Australia in the past two months.
Authorities have said they have the situation under control.
"Consumers can expect to see some empty shelves in the short-term, however, supplies are being re-directed to areas with short supply," the Australian government said.
"Consumers should refrain from purchasing more eggs than required."
Bird flu has affected fewer than 10% of Australia's egg laying hens but, some businesses have imposed limits on how many eggs people can buy.
The outbreaks have led to the culling of about 1.5m chickens in Australia.
So far, none of the strains detected have been the H5N1 variant of bird flu.
H5N1 has spread through bird and mammal populations globally, infecting billions of animals and a small number of humans.
