Advice when travelling and mailing goods
If you are travelling for work or leisure, please do your part to keep Western Australia free from FMD and LSD which could have devastating consequences for our primary industries.
- Learn how to keep Australia safe via the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry website
- Before mailing goods to Australia for your use or the use of family and friends, check which items are allowed into Australia and accurately describe them on the postal declaration label.
