Bringing your Pet

If you are an Australian resident, you are welcome to bring a domestic animal companion (eg a dog) with you while you are undergoing treatment. Most domestic air carriers will safely transport animals in special pressurised areas of their cargo holds. If you would like to bring your pet, please let us know beforehand and we can help you make the necessary arrangements prior to your arrival.

While you are in residence, we can help you organise pet care, veterinary assistance and any specific equipment such as toys, leashes and bowls.

Please note that due to strict quarantine rules, animals arriving in Australia from overseas are subject to import licences and long quarantine periods. Any arrangement to bring a pet from overseas will need to be authorised by Australian quarantine officials a number of months before arrival. Due to the lengthy process and strict restrictions applying to importation of animals, we do not recommend that you bring a pet from overseas.
