•Dry riverbeds are overlooked in river health monitoring and assessment programs.•There are no established biological indicators of dry riverbed health.•Terrestrial invertebrates responded to a widespread disturbance gradient.•Richness and abundance were significantly limited at disturbed sites.•We demonstrate how terrestrial invertebrates can be used as health indicators.
