Dog and Cat Imports: dates of validity for rabies testing results

The Department of Agriculture has aligned requirements that cover the date of validity of acceptable rabies neutralising antibody titres (RNAT) for dogs and cats for export to Australia.
For permit applications received on and after 20 January 2020, acceptable RNATs will be dated from arrival of the sample at the testing laboratory. The minimum 180 days pre-export period spent outside Australia where an RNAT is required will now commence on that same date.
