Pets
Australia has very strict rules on the importation of animals, as they control the types of animals that can come in to the country and from which country they are coming in.
The rules are set by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS). Please click here for further information.
Dogs, cats and horses may be brought in from a number of countries around the world, however this is subject to quarantine controls. Most cats and dogs coming from the UK will be required to spend a minimum of 30 day in quarantine.
Because of the strict rules most other household pets, for example hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets and caged birds are generally prohibited to be brought into Australia. Just because you can not bring these pets into Australia doesn’t mean that you can buy these animals from pet shops or breeders in Australia.
