Import conditions
Cats and dogs may be imported into Australia under strict conditions. We base these on rigorous scientific analyses to manage biosecurity risks. These conditions safeguard our agriculture, environment, native and domestic animals, and our people.
You may import your cat or dog directly from an approved country. Cats and dogs must undergo veterinary preparations and certification in the approved country.
Import conditions depend on the approved country your cat or dog is imported from. Find out the conditions that apply to you in our step-by-step guides.
