Artificial propagation programs
Due to the impacts of coronavirus on working arrangements, stakeholders are requested to contact the Wildlife Trade Sections via email rather than telephone. Please email wps@awe.gov.au with any questions about applying for a permit or for queries relating to existing permit applications. If you have an existing application, please include your application reference number in your email. We will respond to your query as soon as possible.
In order to export Australian native plant specimens and/or CITES-listed specimens for commercial purposes, the specimens must come from an approved program such as an approved artificial propagation program.
Exporters sourcing specimens from an approved program must also have an export permit issued by the Department.
