Even if you comply with all the regulations, some States do not allow anyone to keep rabbits as pets so it depends where you are going. You cannot vaccinate your rabbit against myxomatosis but you can against calicivirus.

You can if-
it is de-sexed
has been immunised against mixo-mytosis
However there is a new bio-engineered virus called Calicivirus to combat the plague levels of rabbits and hares.
There is no vaccine for this.
It will have to be quarantined.
1. A valid Import Permit is required and must be applied for prior to importation. Permit applications must be sent to Live Animal Imports - AQIS Canberra, for assessment.

Hmmmm im not sure but i think the wonderful wizzard will know for sure.
It will likely survive, im not sure about the rest but it is really stressful for animals i would say it is easier on it to rehouse it.

The only good rabbit is a dead rabbit. And by the way, there is a flat dead absolute ban on hamsters.

I hope so as my Jack Russell loves to play with rabbits.
Don't need to bring your rabbit to Australia (NOT oz) as we have millions of them scatted all across Australia,no thanks to the pommy who had a brain snap and sent them along with the rest of there "rejects"

Are you serious?
Why dont ya just eat it the night before you fly, then get another one here when you arrive. We've got more rabbits than humans.

Don't think about coming to Queensland because it is illegal to keep rabbits as pets in this state.

no it'll probably be confiscated because it is considered as a natural pest
