Post entry quarantine facility

The Australian Government’s Post Entry Quarantine (PEQ) facility located in Mickleham, Victoria manages high-risk plant and animal imports, including cats, dogs, horses, live birds, hatching eggs, bees and ruminants. When these imports arrive in Australia, they are kept in quarantine while their health is checked to make sure they don’t carry any pests or diseases.

Post entry quarantine is the final step in the process of reducing the biosecurity risks associated with importing animals and plants into Australia. All imported animals and plants complete their post entry quarantine at this facility.

Reservations

To make a reservation for the Post Entry Quarantine facility for cats, dogs and plants please use the Post Entry Biosecurity System (PEBS) to book.

Note: We do not recommend you use the Post Entry Biosecurity System on a mobile phone. Please use a desktop web browser to make a booking.

The online reservation service allows you to:

  • create a new post entry quarantine reservation
  • confirm the details of your existing reservation
  • update your reservation
  • cancel your reservation
  • check the status of your reservation.

Please ensure you understand the entire process for importing before making a booking. For more information, visit:
