Re: Moving Pets Abroad & Accomodation
I read somewhere that the plan is to have just one quarantine station in Australia, not three and that one will be Spotswood in Melbourne. The article I read said this might coincide with the move to reduce the mandatory quarantine period from 30 days down to 10 days but it is not confirmed exactly when this will happen, estimated for end of this year or 2014 by many people.

Unless you have large animals (like we do) you can still fly them via a domestic flight. More expense I know though and also means you can't visit them in quarantine if you're out west

Re: Moving Pets Abroad & Accomodation
There is no problem, it is as per #16 suggests. Centralising to save Government (taxpayer) funds... tough luck for those of us on the West coast though...
Per #17 & my previous post, Jetpets will organise both interstate and overseas flights/transport/boarding/delivery of all domestic pets on commercial flights. Not all flights can carry animals but mine flew VA and Q will also allow on selected flights.

Re: Moving Pets Abroad & Accomodation
We are likely moving to Perth around March time next year and intend on taking our two cats with us if we can. Can anyone advise me on prices if they have done this before?
I know that prices are subject to change, especially within that timescale.
Also, I have noticed that not a lot of rental accomodation allows for pets, but I understand this can be down to the rental company's preference....has anyone else came up against this obstacle?

Just research it fully and you'll be right You'll probably find if there is rentals available in Perth through ex-pats they have some of their houses pet friendly, these are good to get you going.
