That\u2019s if nothing goes wrong with your application<\/strong>. Nine months is better. That\u2019s because Australia classes the UK as a category 3 country for pet imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means your dog or cat will have to spend at least 10 days in Australia\u2019s official pet quarantine facility. There is only one of these in the entire country, and it does get booked up \u2013 so it\u2019s worth adding an extra couple of months to account for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pet is a puppy or kitten less than 3 months old, the process will take longer. That\u2019s because your pet must be proven free of rabies for a minimum of 180 days before travel. One month before the rabies test, they\u2019ll need a rabies shot. And no cat or dog can be vaccinated until they\u2019re at least 3 months old. So be sure to factor that in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check also:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/moving-abroad-checklist\/\">Moving Abroad from the UK Checklist<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/deal-with-anxiety-from-moving-abroad\/\">Dealing With Anxiety From Moving Abroad<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_your_vet_and_inform_them_that_youre_moving_your_pet_to_Australia\"><\/span>Visit your vet and inform them that you\u2019re moving your pet to Australia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your vet will need to help you through most of the initial paperwork, as well as provide the proof that you need for a successful import application. <strong>Many vets will have gone through this process before<\/strong>. If you want extra peace of mind, it could be worth phoning around the vet surgeries in your area until you find one with relevant experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_pet_micro-chipped\"><\/span>Get your pet micro-chipped<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To travel to Australia, your pet needs to have a microchip that can be read by an ISO-compatible chip reader. <strong>Talk to your vet about getting a suitable one implanted or checking the one that\u2019s already there.<\/strong> They\u2019ll need to scan the microchip and confirm suitability in writing as part of your application process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019ll also need to scan the chip for every stage of the process they\u2019re involved in, so the Australian authorities can check your pet\u2019s complete health records on the chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_pet_vaccinated_against_rabies\"><\/span>Get your pet vaccinated against rabies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cat or dog is at least 90 days old, they can be vaccinated.

They\u2019ll need to confirm in writing that they\u2019ve administered the vaccination too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_pet_tested_for_rabies\"><\/span>Get your pet tested for rabies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>30 days after they\u2019ve been vaccinated, you can take your pet to the vet for a rabies test, known as a <strong>Rabies Neutralising Antibody Titre (RNAT) test<\/strong>. This is the key evidence that the Australian authorities will want to see. The vet will take a blood sample for the test, test will be carried out at a government-approved laboratory, and it normally takes around 14 days to get the results back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check also:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/5-rules-when-moving-with-cats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Move House with Cats<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/move-house-pet-rabbit\/\">Moving House with a Pet Rabbit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/moving-house-with-dogs\/\">Moving House with a Dog<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible for tests to fail. A result of less than 0.5 IU\/ml is unacceptable to the Australian authorities. It\u2019s highly unlikely your pet will fail. But mistakes do happen. If your pet does fail the test, you can re-vaccinate and get them tested again. Just remember that this will add 6 weeks to the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_vet_to_complete_an_RNAT_test_declaration\"><\/span>Get your vet to complete an RNAT test declaration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got the results, ask your vet to fill in, sign and stamp what\u2019s called an RNAT test declaration. This has to specify the name of the testing lab, not the surgery that submitted it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apply_and_pay_for_your_import_permit\"><\/span>Apply and pay for your import permit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take some time over this. Get anything wrong, and you could be turned down. Also, brace yourself for the first big hit on your wallet, which will cost you $480 AUD. The good news is that if you\u2019re moving more than one pet, each additional application costs less, at $240 AUD per pet. More good news: the application can be done online. You will need to send these supporting documents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rabies vaccination and RNAT test declaration form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RNAT test lab report.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A veterinary medical form or letter from your vet detailing any ongoing medical conditions your pet might have.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But you don\u2019t need to send originals.

You can go through the whole process <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agriculture.gov.au\/biosecurity-trade\/import\/online-services\/bicon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">right here<\/a>. Remember that you\u2019ll need to start your application at least 42 days before the move date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_post-entry_quarantine_accommodation_BEFORE_you_confirm_your_move_date\"><\/span><b>Book post-entry quarantine accommodation BEFORE you confirm your move date<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats and dogs must spend at least 10 days in quarantine when they arrive in Australia. But the country has only one quarantine facility, based in Mickleham \u2013 a suburb of Melbourne, in Victoria. And it frequently gets fully booked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No capacity means your pet will not be allowed into the country. <strong>So you\u2019ll need to give this plenty of time \u2013 about 2 months is recommended. It takes about 7 days for submissions to be reviewed.&nbsp;<\/strong>Also, remember that wherever you\u2019re moving, your pet is only allowed to arrive at Melbourne International Airport. Your removal company should be aware of this but do double-check if you\u2019re unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Compare_service_and_prices_from_more_than_one_removal_firm\"><\/span>Compare service and prices from more than one removal firm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet transport to Australia is expensive. <b>According to some companies, expect to pay thousands \u2013 up to \u00a35,000<\/b>. This is because pets need to be transported under certain conditions by law. The transit kennels must be large enough that your pet can stand up and sit down without touching the top of the box and that they can lie down in a natural position and turn around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your pets must also be shipped to Melbourne as manifest cargo rather than excess baggage. These factors mean there isn\u2019t much movement to be had on price. Most removal companies will use the same few transit companies to do the actual moving of your pet. It\u2019s worth getting a range of quotes from several companies \u2013 at least three. That way, you\u2019ll have a better idea of a fair price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want your company to handle your whole relocation \u2013 including your house contents \u2013 then you\u2019re more likely to be able to ask for discounts on the whole package. Always ask the best price they can do, as there may be some leeway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given how much you\u2019re moving and how important it is that your pet is well-treated and arrives at the right time, it\u2019s far better to go with a removal company you\u2019re confident will do a good job for you rather than haggle. Look for customer recommendations for the movers you\u2019re tempted to go with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a removal company that allows flexibility when shipping your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_general_vaccinations\"><\/span>Check general vaccinations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the time to get your pet checked for the relevant vaccinations. Cats need to be vaccinated against feline enteritis. Dogs must be vaccinated against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Para-influenza and&nbsp;<i>Bordetella bronchiseptica<\/i>, and <i>Leptospira interrogans<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_pet_treated_for_parasites\"><\/span>Get your pet treated for parasites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your pets need to be treated against parasitic worms such as tapeworms. Once again, timings are crucial. Your pet will need 2 treatment<strong>s. They\u2019ll need to be at least 14 days apart<\/strong> but no more than 45 days before move day. But the second treatment needs to be within 5 days of move day. So use a calendar, talk to your vet to arrange the appointments, and work backwards from moving day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your pet must also be treated for external parasites like ticks and fleas. And again, this has to be done by your vet at least 21 days before moving day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_vet_to_do_an_official_parasite_check\"><\/span>Get your vet to do an official parasite check<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Within 5 days of moving day, your vet needs to check your pet for signs of parasites, as well as any infectious diseases. Try to keep your pet in an environment where they are less likely to pick up fleas. If any are found, you\u2019ll have to get them treated again, adding more time and delaying the date when your pet will be allowed to travel. Consider keeping your dog or cat indoors once they\u2019ve been treated for ticks and fleas to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_vet_to_complete_your_pets_health_certificate\"><\/span>Get your vet to complete your pet\u2019s health certificate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your pet\u2019s import permit includes a health certificate. Your vet needs to fill this in, sign it and stamp it. They must also stamp all your supporting paperwork, including blood test results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever paperwork you have relating to the process, get them to stamp it. If in doubt, ask. If you forget anything, it could result in Australian customs not allowing your pet to enter the country. So better to be safe than sorry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pick_up_your_pet_from_quarantine\"><\/span>Pick up your pet from quarantine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your pet arrives in Australia, the authorities will pick it up and take it to the quarantine centre. But you have to pick them up once the quarantine period is over. So make sure you stay in touch with the centre. Sometimes the 10-day minimum can be extended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you\u2019ll need to pay their invoice before you\u2019re allowed to take your pet. Any extra days will be charged on the invoice, so if you can\u2019t make it to Melbourne for the day your pet is due to be released, see if you can get a friend to pick them up for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And%E2%80%A6_Relax\"><\/span>And\u2026 Relax<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got this far, congratulations! Moving your pet to Australia is a real challenge. If you\u2019ve got through it with not many delays, then you\u2019ve done very well indeed.
