Cats and dogs returning to Australia


AQIS cannot guarantee that dogs and cats exported from Australia will be eligible for re-import. Please consider this carefully before exporting your pet.

This is largely due to the fact that exported animals may be exposed to exotic diseases and therefore may not be able to meet the AQIS import requirements.

Dogs and cats that are eligible for re-import MUST do a minimum of 30 days quarantine upon return to Australia.

Cats and dogs exported from Australia immediately relinquish their Australian status. Animals must be resident in the country of export for six months before being eligible to return to Australia, under the conditions of that country. If you wish to re-import your pet within six months of export, preparations must be made prior to leaving Australia. The following document details these preparations.


Pre-export preparations for dogs and cats potentially returning to Australia

Please consider that cats and dogs are only eligible for direct import from AQIS approved countires.

If your pet is exported to a non-approved country it must travel to, and be resident in, an approved country for the six months immediately preceding re-import to Australia.

Animals that have been resident in an approved country for a minimum of six months then become eligible for import into Australia under the AQIS import conditions that apply to that particular approved country.
