Transport dogs or cats to Australia or new Zealand
This page is dedicated to all concerns about importing dogs or cats to Australia. Australia falls into three categories when it comes to international pet transportation. These classifications are determined by the country’s rabies status. Only cats and dogs from nations with little or nonexistent rabies prevalence are allowed pets in Australia.
How do I transport my pet to Australia?
Which agency should we use if I want to import a dog to Australia?
Do animals need to quarantine in Australia?
Australia has a very good state of animal health and is free of many diseases that affect dogs and cats. Cats and dogs must stay in quarantine for a certain amount of time after arriving in Australia in order to preserve this status.
How long does it take to bring a dog to Australia?
Even though the entire process of relocating a dog to Australia takes 190 days, your dog will only need to spend 10 days in a quarantine facility at the very end, once she has reached her new home.
Is there any way to save money on dog relocation to Australia?
It is hard to save money on this relocation destination due to the unique nature of all of the specific and strict requirements for Australia. On the other hand, please talk to us, and if you wish to pay your vet directly, pay the Australian permit and PEQ fees directly, etc., you are more than welcome. But from past experience, in general, there is little cost saving- and there is normally more peace of mind to pass all responsibilities to the very experienced agent.

Bringing a pet from a non-approved country to Australia
Pet dogs and cats from nations on the blacklist are prohibited from entering Australia directly because of the country’s stringent biosecurity regulations. Here’s what to do if your pet is traveling from a non-approved nation:
Verify your general eligibility.
There is a list of dog and cat breeds that are prohibited from importation into Australia. Verify whether the breed of dog or cat you own is prohibited.
The rabies vaccine and microchip
Install a microchip that is consistent with ISO standards, and ensure that the microchip number is precisely documented in all supporting materials. Should an error occur in the microchip number entry, your pet will not be permitted for importation into Australia.
Your pet dog or cat must be vaccinated with an inactivated rabies vaccine following the manufacturer’s instructions after the microchip has been implanted.
Test for rabies titre
The first RNAT test, the titre test, requires a blood sample to be taken three to four weeks following the rabies vaccination. The sample needs to be tested at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory or an approved OIE rabies reference laboratory, and it needs to include your pet’s microchip number. Either the quick fluorescent focus inhibition test or the fluorescent antibody virus neutralization test must be used for the test.
The microchip number of your pet, the dates of sampling and sample arrival, the laboratory official’s signature, the nation where the sample was collected, the type of test, and the outcome must all be included in the RNATT report, which must be written in English.
To import your pet into Australia, a test result of 0.5IU/ml or more is necessary. If your pet does not have the required level of antibodies, you may revaccinate and repeat the process.
Waiting time and import license.
Before you can go to Australia with your pet dog or cat, you have to wait 180 days after the date of the RNAT test. After receiving a positive initial RNAT test result, apply online via the Biosecurity Import Conditions System portal for an import permission.
Go to a nation in Group 2 or Group 3.
Move your pet dog or cat to a Group 2 or Group 3 nation for additional preparations after submitting an application for an import permission. Make sure you adhere to all import regulations of the authorized nation of your choice.
Reserve a spot for quarantine.
All pet dogs and cats must stay in the Post Entry Quarantine Center in Mickleham, Melbourne, for a minimum of 10 days upon arrival in Australia. You can reserve a quarantine area online after your pet’s RNAT test results are positive.
Complete the remaining requirements for pet imports.
Everything about your pet needs to be met for import, including the rabies shots and the RNAT test. Before being imported into Australia, your pet cat or dog must have additional required vaccines, receive treatments for internal and external parasites, and undergo a pre-export clinical assessment.
Certificate of health
An authorized government veterinarian is required to complete the veterinary health certificate. All pages of the RNATT declaration, the RNAT test reports, and the health certificate must also be signed and stamped by the veterinarian.
Make your trip plans.
Verify quarantine space and arrange for your pet’s travel to Australia after all of their travel paperwork is in order. After ten days of required quarantine at the Post Entry Quarantine Centre in Melbourne, your pet will be checked for any symptoms of illness upon arrival. After the quarantine period, if all is in order, you can bring your pet home after their paperwork has been examined.
