Australian Immigration: Pet Travel

Migrating to Australia can seem like a daunting prospect, especially
if you do not want to leave your furry family members behind. Luckily,
the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) exists to
assist international visitors with pets.Of course it is also important
to protect Australia's own wildlife from foreign diseases. For this
reason, most family dogs and cats are required to be quarantined.Just
like humans, some pets are afraid of flying. It is important that you
prepare them for the trip to Australia.Different airlines and airports
have different rules for people travelling with pets so be sure to
review the regulations of your airline before you depart. There are
also travel agents with specialised knowledge of pet travel who can
make recommendations with regard to taking your pet from one country
to another.




On her website, Australian vet Dr Katrina Warren recommends pet owners
assess their animals travel needs well before the date of departure. If
your pet does not like travelling in a car, Dr Warren suggests introducing
him or her to a travelling crate about a month before the flight.Just as
when easing a new pet into your home, it is helpful to place familiar toys
or items of clothing in the crate so your pet is accustomed to this new
environment.Dr Warren also advises pet owners to exercise their dog or cat
before travelling to help them sleep on the plane. To avoid any nasty
accidents during the flight, do not allow your pet to eat on the day you
leave.Once you arrive in Australia, most animals will have to go through a
period of quarantine. The only dogs and cats allowed to enter Australia
without undergoing this process are those from New Zealand, the Cocos
Islands and Norfolk Island.AQIS has divided quarantine levels into six
categories. The category your pet falls into depends upon the country you
are departing from on your way to Australia. To see which category your
pet belongs to, visit: web: daff.gov.au/aqis/cat-dogs.There are three
quarantine stations located around Australia: two on the East coast in
Spotswood, Melbourne and in Eastern Creek, Sydney and one on the West
coast in Byford, Perth.AQIS warns all pet owners immigrating or working in
Australia to be wary of heat stress in their dog or cat. Australian
temperatures regularly reach 35 degrees Celsius during summer months and
pets may be affected more easily than people.




Quarantine costs are expensive and should be taken into consideration
before you travel, especially if you are only staying in Australia on a
temporary visa. Some dogs and cats face a minimum of 60 days in
quarantine, so if you are only staying for six months, it may not be worth
the hassle.Here is a quick overview of Australian quarantine costs for one
dog quarantined for one month:

Entry fee - $15.00
Vet fee - $80.00 (per 30 minutes)
Document fee - $40.00
Rate - $1170.00 (30 x $39.00 daily rate)
Total = $1305.00
And for one cat quarantined for one month:

Entry fee - $15.00
Vet fee - $80.00 (per 30 minutes)
Document fee - $40.00
Rate - $870.00 (30 x $29.00 daily rate)
Total = $1005.00

professional migration agency can make the difference between visa
grant and refusal. For all your Australian immigration needs, visit
