Hi @crankygrinch, I have inquired at Pet Air Malaysia / Singapore regarding this and here’s their response:
Thank you for your enquiry.
We can help you with the relocation process of your pet from Manila, the Philippines to Sydney via KL, Malaysia and Melbourne, Australia. The relocation process will take at least 7-8 months.
We will have to import your pets into Malaysia first and your pets have to be here for a minimum period of 45 days before being exported to Melbourne. We will be able to handle the import process into Malaysia, the mandatory 7 days quarantine in Malaysia, all necessary blood tests as well as the Australian Import Process with the 10 days quarantine arrangements in Melbourne.
An initial Rabies Blood test must be done in Manila, the Philippines. Have your pets been tested for Rabies or are you planning to get that done in the nearest future? You can send us a copy of the Rabies Blood test results if the test has been done and the vaccine card copy for us to check. There will also be 180 days waiting period from the day the first Rabies test is done before your pets can enter Australia. This blood test must only be done in an OIE lab recognized by Australia.
If you need a competent pet relocator in your home country to help you with the export, we can recommend one.
The full timeline of what needs to be done will be given to you upon signing up for our services.
