Quarantine Introduction

Investigators have a responsibility to ensure that they comply with the Quarantine Act 1908 when dealing with quarantine status material and with the requirements of all other regulatory organisations prior to and after importation or exportation of materials.

Investigators wishing to import material from overseas should determine whether they require an Import Permit from the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS). In addition, some quarantine status material must be stored or dealt with in a Quarantine Approved Premise (QAP).

If you have any other queries regarding your quarantine compliance obligations please contact the Research Compliance Officer.
