Default Taking cats to Oz

We're emigrating in November and have just received a quote to take our 2 cats with us - Approx £2200 plus all vets fees in UK for vaccinations, chipping etc!!! So we thought about trying to do this ourselves as apposed to using Jets4Pets(who are obviously making a considerable profit). Has anyone done this iindependently I've downloaded all the forms from DEFRA and AQIS but it seems very long winded. Just seems an awful lot of money to spend when it's gonna cost less for a family of 5 to get our there! Any tips?

Thanks - Sue

You may be able to organise some of it yourself but I believe an authorised pet mover has to make the bookings on the plane as the airlines no longer take bookings from individuals.
