The ABC released a statement shortly after the incident, according to The Guardian.
'Indonesia correspondent Adam Harvey has been injured while on assignment in Marawi in the Philippines and is currently receiving medical treatment,' it read.
Shortly after the reports emerged, veteran journalist Hugh Riminton sent a message of support.
'Injury said to be ''minor''. But too close to comfort for @adharves. Keep your head down, you big unit!' he tweeted.

About an hour later, Mr Harvey wrote online: 'Thanks everyone - I'm okay. Bullet is still in my neck, but it missed everything important.'
Mr Harvey has been tweeting photos from the conflict zone for several days.
Less than 24 hours before he was shot, he shared a picture of a man lying dead in the street.
'Came across a murder on the drive out of Marawi tonight. Brutal times in the Philippines,' Mr Harvey wrote.

The Philippine military has been engaged in fierce battles with hundreds of militants, who have pledged allegiance to Islamic State, for over three weeks.
The fighting has left 202 gunmen dead, while 58 soldiers and 26 civilians have also been killed, according to the government.
The militants have withstood a relentless bombing campaign that has made parts of Marawi resemble war-devastated cities in Iraq and Syria.
Islamic State's news agency, Amaq, claim its fighters control two-thirds of the city.
