What this route typically costs
Critical points
Armenia is not on Australia's approved country list. There is no pathway for direct import from Yerevan to any Australian city. Any agent suggesting otherwise should be challenged.
All pets entering Australia must arrive into Melbourne (MEL). Perth, Sydney, and Brisbane do not accept pet imports. Plan domestic travel from Melbourne for any other destination.
There may be no DAFF-approved titre test laboratory in Armenia. Blood samples may need to be shipped from Yerevan to a laboratory in Georgia, Germany, or Turkey. Build extra time into your schedule for sample transit and results.
Quarantine spaces at Mickleham must be pre-booked. Confirm your quarantine booking before purchasing the Australia flight.
Approved carriers for this route

The rules for bringing a pet into Australia
How to keep this move on track
Keep every original document together and take copies. Border officials want originals, and a missing signature or date can hold up clearance.
Work backwards from your travel date and add a buffer. Fixed waiting periods mean a single slipped appointment can push the whole move back by weeks.
Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.
Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.
