Links to information on Tasmanian Quarantine, the Spirit of Tasmania and rules for Inland Fishing.

 Bringing Your Dog

Before a dog can enter Tasmania, its owner must have evidence that it has been treated with praziquantel at a dose rate of 5 mg/kg body weight within 14 days before entry to Tasmania.


The evidence can be a statement by a vet, evidence of treatment (such as the pill packet) that is carried by whoever accompanies the dog or a statutory declaration by the owner.


Australian Interstate Quarantine

Within Australia, there are limitations on what you can bring over quarantine and state borders. If travellers bring prohibited products across borders, they will be fined immediately.

Check before you travel
