Australian summary information and requirements for the importation of cats and dogs.

Animals must be shipped in IATA approved transit kennels that allow the animal to stand up without touching the top of the box, lie down and turn around. It is a requirement that cats and dogs are shipped as manifest cargo and not as excess baggage. There are only three Quarantine Kennels in Australia - based in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney - so animals must enter Australia at one of these airports. If you are unable to collect your pet(s), arrangements for movement of pets from these Kennels to other cities in Australia may be possible after the quarantine period but would have to be made in Australia. The kennels themselves will probably be able to help, as this is not an unusual request.

From the UK it is a requirement that cats and dogs complete 30 days in Quarantine.

Current costs (as of 30/07/05) are A$416.50 for first cat, A$326.50 for subsequent cats, A$536.50 for first dog, A$386.50 for subsequent dogs. Other charges include A$95.00 Airport removal fee per consignment. Examination of the animal is A$68.00 per animal per half hour. Lodgement of a quarantine entry form is A$12.00. Documentation clearance is A$30.00 per quarter hour or part thereof. Veterinary treatment and supplies are extra and at cost. Unfortunately these costs cannot be included in our quote and need to be settled by you directly with the quarantine station.

Animals must be accompanied by the following paperwork:



a) An Import Permit obtained from Australian Quarantine Services (Current cost A$280.00 for first pet and A$60.00 for additional pets). Application forms can be obtained from the AQIS website or we can send you copies as required. All animals must be microchipped (approved types only) before an Import Permit can be applied for. One application form must be completed for each animal. The Import Permit will be valid for two months from your stated expected export date.



b) An Official Export Health Certificate (this must be applied for from DEFRA (formerly the Ministry of Agriculture) –



Only part A is to be completed and certified by your LVI within 96 hours of the flight (Part B will be completed by Portal Veterinarian).



c) For cats, vaccination certificates for feline enteritis, feline rhinotracheitis and feline calicivirus showing vaccination at least 14 days before the flight and not more than 11 months beforehand.

For dogs, vaccination certificates for distemper, infectious hepatitis, canine parvovirus and parainfluenza (D,H,P,Pi) showing vaccination at least 14 days before the flight and not more than 11 months beforehand.



d) In the case of dogs only, blood samples to be tested for Brucella Canis and Ehrlichia must be submitted to the relevant authority (VLA, Weybridge, Surrey) within 30 days of the flight. The dog must be treated with a long lasting acaricide within 24 hrs of the blood sample for Ehrlichia being taken.

A blood sample to be tested for Leptospirosis (L. interrogans serovar canicola) must be submitted to the relevant authority (VLA, Weybridge, Surrey) within 30 days of the flight. Negative results at the relevant titres must be obtained for all tests.

If the dog has been vaccinated against Leptospirosis and the first test comes back negative at a rate of 1:400 but positive at 1:100 then a second blood sample taken not less than 14 days from the original and both within 30 days of the flight must be submitted to the relevant authority. This is to show either a negative (at 1/100) result or a steady and low positive result (positive at 1/100 and negative at 1/400).

The blood test results MUST accompany the Export Health Certificate.



e) Clearance of notifiable diseases certificate (EC618 or 618NDC) from DEFRA. The vet MUST give you this certificate, as the Portal veterinarian requires it to complete part B, not your vet who only completes part A of the Export Health Certificate. If the vet disagrees get them to read part B in full.



f) Written declarations as required, to support the export health certificate.

The full set of requirements must be obtained from your local Animal Health Divisional Office Tel: 01162 787451. Please request from DEFRA a Specimen copy of the Health Certificate as the things that have to be done become somewhat clearer than just referring to the notes.Last updated 3/02/04
