Moving pets from NZ to Australia is so commonplace for us it often gets overlooked on our blog! Relocating pets to Australia is a simple destination for international pet travel because there are no quarantine requirements for New Zealand pets. Yes you can travel on the same flight to Australia as your pet but it will need to be a morning flight on one of the following airlines: Virgin, Air New Zealand or Qantas.. You should discuss this with your consultant prior to booking flights because your pet and their paperwork need to arrive during customs clearance business hours on the same day.  Relocating pets to Australia from NZ is a breeze with a delightful Staffy like Holly we moved to Melbourne. Moving pets from NZ to Australia with us means you can fly your pets direct to: Perth, Adelaide, Cairns, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Coolangatta. Darwin and Canberra are possible with connecting flights. Hobart has no customs clearance facility for pets in Tasmania so your pets must do customs clearance at Melbourne. For any other location not listed above, you can either organise your NZ pets' onward travel from one of the main airports or use the help of one of our expert agents in Australia. Certain ports wont accept pets or large cages so please discuss with your pet transport consultant.  This delightful dog is Daisy a Golden Labrador we relocated to Sydney enjoying some office treats. Entry requirements for relocating pets to Australia: your pet must be at least 8wks, be microchipped, and within 5 days of departure be issued with a Pet Health Export Certificate. This usually involves a tick flea worm treatment 3 or 4days preflight. Vaccinations are a vet issue and their own definition of pet health. Some vets require vaccinations, some don't. Talk to your consultant if you would like a vet recommended to you or if you have lost your pet health book. If your current council registration has expired, you don't need to renew it before flying. Pet registration is not a requirement.  Milton the Ragdoll cat we moved to Melbourne - he loves his travel crate so much it stays in the living room! If you would like to go on holiday with your pets we can apply for a short-stay, 30days visa and they wont have to do a blood test to re-enter New Zealand! Win!

From the outside, Pet Transport NZ looks like cute puppies and fluffy kittens all day long. And it is! But that doesn't cover the complexity of international pet transport. We are proud to be the official pet transporter for the New Zealand Sheep Dog Trial Association and the Paw Blacks. Both champion dog teams are international title holders. Every year we fly their prize-winning trial dogs with their handlers from New Zealand to Australia for their agility competitions.
We also arrange their return pet transport to NZ. Return pet flights are unique to Pet Transport NZ. We are the only pet courier providing round-trips from New Zealand. This is because pet transport, from any country in the world, is actually pet export. The government of the country the pet is leaving must approve the pet is fit to fly and a local pet transporter must oversee this process. We have agents operating in the UK, Europe, USA, Asia and Australia that allows us to provide return services.
Working dogs like these are highly trained to respond to specific command words. Say the wrong thing to the wrong dog and you might have a pre-flight situation at the airport! For this reason, working dogs must be accompanied by their human handlers at all times. Every vet visit, airline and MPI requires the attendance of the human they are trained to respond to.
Moving dogs to Australia is similar for the NZ Police. These working dogs are also trained for particular command words and need to remain with their handlers at all times. When they travel to Australia for specialised training, we assist with their return trips from New Zealand. Flying guide dogs for the Blind Foundation requires human attendance as well
Woody is a wonderful cat we moved to Sydney from Auckland this week. He enjoyed posing for pre-flight pics in our offices at Auckland Airport, showing off his beautiful differently coloured eyes before curling up to sleep in his travel crate. Moving pets to Australia? This cat moved to Sydney in his sleep.  He sailed through pet travel certification at Ministry of Primary Industries before jetting off to Australia from New Zealand. As professional pet couriers, we take each international shipment seriously. From the moment your travelling pets leave us at Auckland Airport, we are awaiting your overseas updates.  Moving to Australia, all in a days work for this NZ cat, his humans sent us these from Sydney, NSW: "Woody arrived safe and sound a few hours after us. Pick up was very smooth. Here is him getting some well deserved rest after his voyage. He was snoring at the time. Thank you for all your help!"   Well done Woody! If you are moving with pets to Australia, contact the only NZ pet courier based at Auckland Airport. You just drop your cats and dogs here, right between Domestic and International terminals on your way to board your own flight! Contact an Australian pet travel consultant here.
