Before a new species or breed can be imported into www.agric.wa.gov.au Western Australia, an assessment is made of the risk it poses to agriculture and the environment.

The assessment considers:

 the ability of the animal to establish feral populations in the wild; and

 the animal’s pest potential to agriculture and the environment;

Decisions on importation are made after consideration of both the short and long-term consequences of importation.

Many of the animals assessed are permitted to enter the State but they may need to be managed by the issue of permits and keeping conditions.

Some animals are not permitted to enter because they pose too great a risk.

Disposal of unwanted animals and birds

If introduced animals are no longer wanted, please contact the Department of Agriculture or CALM for advice on options for proper disposal.

Anyone who liberates, abandons or fails to take reasonable precautions to prevent the escape of a declared animal commits an offence and is liable to be fined under the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act and the Wildlife Conservation Act. KEY TO TABLES

ANIMALS LISTED ALPHABETICALLY BY COMMON NAME

These tables are provided primarily to assist readers to determine the legal restrictions applicable to animals and birds under the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976. None of the restrictions listed in these tables apply to invertebrates or to fish species in the Class Pisces. The table does not include native birds or animals declared in category A7 (managed native birds). It is not exhaustive and does not necessarily set out all of the restrictions applicable to a particular bird or animal under the Act and other legislation. If you are in any doubt as to the legal restrictions applicable to an animal or bird, please contact CALM or Department of Agriculture.

Subject to the above, the following applies to the tables below:  If an animal or bird appears in these tables, it is subject to the regulations set out in the column headed ‘Categories and other conditions’.  If an animal or bird does not appear in these tables and are not indigenous animals, they are prohibited as declared animals in categories A1, A2, A3. The meanings of those categories are summarised below. For the sake of clarity, some of the species (marked #) that have not been the subject of specific declaration and are therefore prohibited as declared animals in categories A1, A2, A3, have been included in the Tables. Prohibited species should be immediately reported.  If an animal or bird does not appear in these tables and is an indigenous species, it is not regulated under the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976, but may be regulated under other legislation.

ANIMALS LISTED ALPHABETICALLY BY SCIENTIFIC NAME

These tables are provided primarily to assist readers to determine the legal restrictions applicable to animals and birds under the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976. The table does not include native birds or animals declared in category A7 (managed native birds). It is not exhaustive and does not necessarily set out all of the restrictions applicable to a particular bird or animal under the Act and other legislation. If you are in any doubt as to the legal restrictions applicable to an animal or bird, please contact CALM or AGWEST.

Subject to the above, the following applies to the tables below:  If an animal or bird appears in these tables, it is subject to the regulations set out in the column headed ‘Categories and other conditions’.  If an animal or bird does not appear in these tables and are not indigenous animals, they are prohibited as declared animals in categories A1, A2, A3. The meanings of those categories are summarised below. For the sake of clarity, some of the species that have not been the subject of specific declaration and are therefore prohibited as declared animals in categories A1, A2, A3, have been included in the Table. Prohibited species should be immediately reported.  If an animal or bird does not appear in this table and is an indigenous species, it is not regulated under the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976, but may be regulated under other legislation.
