New Western Australian (WA) LB1 health certificates are in effect for livestock importation from 1 July 2021

The new WA health certificates are now species-specific with particular requirements.

• Exporting producers/managers and veterinarians must provide a signed declaration for each of the import conditions.
• An additional producer declaration is required for cattle Johne’s disease import conditions if the cattle were not born on the exporting property.
• Importing producers must complete a section of the WA health certificate before the livestock are imported which:
  • confirms with the exporting producer that they have understood and met WA’s import conditions and
  • outlines the post-entry conditions for liver fluke and footrot.

The previous LB1 health certificate will no longer be accepted in WA for importation of livestock.
