Application to Import or Export Wildlife

Use this form to submit an application to import wildlife into Victoria or to export wildlife to another Australian state or territory.

An Import or Export Permit is required under Section 50 of the Wildlife Act 1975 to move wildlife into or out of Victoria. This includes wildlife where a licence is not required to possess it in Victoria. Wildlife includes deer, non-indigenous quail, pheasants and partridges, any terrestrial invertebrates animals listed in the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988. The definition also includes any form of wildlife – whether it is alive or dead and includes the flesh, skin, fur, bones, organs, blood, tissue or eggs.

A permit must be obtained before any wildlife is transported. You cannot import or export wildlife until you receive your permit.

Wildlife laws vary between each Australian state and territory. It is recommended that you contact the relevant authority about the legal requirements for keeping wildlife in that State/Territory.

You will need to refer to your Import or Export Permit for the Permit number.
