24.01.2022 COVID-19 impact on Cat and Dog arrivals into Melbourne International Airport, Australia The Premier of Victoria, Mr Daniel Andrews, has requested that for the f...ollowing two weeks international flights will be diverted from arrival into Melbourne Airport. This will have a direct impact on the importation of companion animals arriving on international passenger flights. The Victorian State government has also decided to reimpose stage three lockdown restrictions due to COVID-19. The lockdown will be imposed in 10 postcodes across Melbourne from 11.59pm, Wednesday 1 July 2020. The current COVID-19 pandemic does not change the existing risks posed by diseases of biosecurity concern to Australia or the need for cats and dogs to meet the import permit conditions in full. This includes the requirement for cats and dogs to arrive directly into Melbourne International Airport, excluding dogs and cats exported from New Zealand, or dogs holding an assistance dog permit. The department may consider re-exporting or euthanising animals that do not fulfill this requirement. The department is working with all animals diverted mid-flight to establish alternative arrangements. The department requests that no animals be loaded for transport to Australia until confirmation that flights can land at Melbourne Airport. Animals cannot be transhipped to Melbourne on a domestic flight from another Australian port. Pet importers and owners must secure an airline booking directly into Melbourne Airport and are advised to confirm both the flight arrival date and the PEQ reservation date to receive their animal before being exported to Australia. Please email [email protected] if you wish to amend a PEQ reservation due to flight disruptions. The PEQ facility is located in Mickleham, which is one of the 10 postcodes in lockdown from 11.59pm, Wednesday 1 July 2020. Please check relevant state or territory government websites for interstate travel movement restrictions. Pet importers and owners will continue to be responsible for arranging the collection of their animals from the PEQ whether in person or by engaging the services of a local pet transport company. Importers are encouraged to check our website regularly for up to date information as import conditions can change without notice.
