Handy information for travellers visiting Tasmania

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.
