Australia

AirCare transport pets from New Zealand to Australia every day. We have direct flights to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Cairns, Adelaide, and Perth. To complement this we have full trans-ship arrangements with Australia's largest pet transporters to send on to smaller airports as well as provide door to door services in all the main areas.

PREPARATION OF PETS TO AUSTRALIA:

For Dogs only:

Documented evidence must be produced for every year of your dog's life - either Clinical Health records from a vet, Council Registration, or Boarding Kennel records may be used as proof of your dog's continuous residency.

Dogs that have not been continuously resident in NZ since birth or since importation (from overseas countries other than Australia) OR who have no documented evidence they have lived the whole of their life in NZ, require blood testing for Leishmania and Babesia.

Dogs and cats must be free of parasites - fleas, ticks and earmites and we recommend they are treated 1-2 weeks prior to departure with a suitable veterinary product.

FULL SERVICE to Australia:

AirCare Pets would complete the whole process, but the documented evidence is required for dogs. For cats we can send a cage to your residence for ease of collection or to acclimatise your cat to the confinement to make the process more comfortable for them.

NO FRILLS SERVICE to Australia:

• Owner purchases MAF HEALTH EXPORT CERTIFICATE for Australia from their vet.
• Owner completes Statutory Declaration at the top of the certificate which requires details of your pet, intended destination/location at present. These details must be declared as true, in front of a Justice of the Peace (JP) or Court House and can be done any time prior to departure.
• Within 72 hours of departure (3 x days) owner takes the completed certificate and pet back to the vet. They complete an examination to check for parasites (fleas/ticks/earmites) and that your pet is fit and healthy to travel and the vet completes the remainder of the certificate. If your dog has required a blood test, the vet will need to have the original Laboratory report. Copies of the completed certificate are required, PLUS the original certificate must travel with the pet.
