Deer - Entry Requirements for Victoria
Identification requirements
There are no specific identification requirements.
Health requirements
All deer must be free of Notifiable diseases. Diseased deer may only enter Victoria under licence, usually only direct for slaughter at an abattoir. In some limited circumstances a licence to introduce the animals to another Victorian property may be granted. Licences are issued by the Animal Biosecurity and Welfare, DPI Bendigo.
