1 Vertebrate Pests Committee List of Exotic Vertebrate Animals in Australia Revised July 2007
2 Background All species on this list (excluding those with B or C annotations) form a definitive record of the nonindigenous vertebrate mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles held in Australia under State and Territory legislation. (It is the responsibility of the holder of an individual animal to ensure that they are also compliant with Commonwealth legislation relating to the possession and quarantine of exotic animals.) This list should be used as a reference by the Vertebrate Pests Committee and Commonwealth, State and Territory agencies in controlling the entry, movement and keeping of exotic vertebrate animals. This list may be subject to change from time to time (with VPC approval), to incorporate changes in the taxonomic name of species. It may also be changed where additions have been made through the legal importation of new exotic species into Australia under the provisions of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the Quarantine Act Each species, unless otherwise stated, has so far only be subjected to a general assessment of the risk it poses. Specific and thorough risk assessments are indicated in the comments section. This list is maintained by the Secretary, Vertebrate Pests Committee and should be updated on a regular basis. All changes to this list should be made in accordance with current VPC policy and must be accepted unanimously by all VPC member agencies. Please contact Environment Australia for further information about importation of exotic animals into Australia. Please note however, that animals imported under Environment Australia legislation will usually also be subject to State and Territory legislative controls. i. e. the species must also appear on this VPC list. Please Note: This VPC List includes all exotic vertebrate animals in Australia on the basis of their pest potential down to a taxonomic level of species. Individual sub-species are not listed.

3 KEY TO TABLES DEFINITION OF VPC THREAT CATEGORIES (from Guidelines on the Entry, Movement and Keeping of Exotic Vertebrate Animals in Australia April elinesapril05.pdf ). To assign an exotic species to a threat category, three risk scores are calculated: the risk that (1) an escaped or released individual would harm people, (2) escaped or released individuals would establish a wild freeliving population (3) the species would be a pest if a wild population did establish. These three risk scores are then used to assign the exotic species to one of four threat categories: extreme, serious, moderate or low (see table below). For further information about the risk assessment method used, please see Bomford, M. (2003) Risk Assessment for the Import and Keeping of Exotic Vertebrates in Australia. Bureau of Rural Sciences, Canberra. (in Press). E Extreme Threat Category These animals should not be allowed to enter, nor be kept in any State or Territory. (Special consideration may be given to scientific institutions on a case by case basis.) Any species that has not been assessed previously should be considered to be in the Extreme Threat Category and should be treated accordingly, until a risk assessment is conducted. S Serious Threat Category These animals may be introduced and/or should be kept only in collections approved by the relevant State/Territory authority as being primarily kept for (1) public display and education purposes, and/or for (2) genuine scientific research approved by the relevant State/Territory authority, and as meeting Best Practice for the purposes of keeping the species concerned. M Moderate Threat Category These animals should be restricted to collections approved and registered by the relevant State/Territory authority for the keeping of Moderate Threat Species. States/Territories may continue to impose any additional restrictions on acquisition and keeping of Moderate Threat Species. L Low Threat Category Animals which, relative to other species, have a low risk of becoming a problem for the environment, primary industry or public safety. OTHER INFORMATION A Those species currently held in statutory zoos in Australia as a result of seizures by Customs or legal importations, but which were not previously categorised by VPC before January 1st These species have been considered by VPC and have been placed in Category 2, without a full review of pest potential, as of January 1st A condition of this decision is that VPC will not permit Approved Collection Status to be given to private zoos for any of the species listed in red without a full review of pest potential being conducted by an independent VPC consultant, as part of any application for approved collection status. However these species can be transferred between Statutory Zoos subject to normal commonwealth and state requirements. B Species held in Australia in List of Animals (Aves, Mammalia, Reptilia, Amphibia) compiled by the WORKING PARTY ON INTRODUCTION AND CONTROL OF NON-INDIGENOUS PEST SPECIES for the VERTEBRATE PESTS COMMITTEE 1980, but is no longer held in Australia. NB: (will remain on the VPC list and will retain the category assigned by VPC previously, but it is not recommended to be listed under state or territory legislation controlling the entry, movement and keeping of exotic animals). C Species in Class 1a that have been imported into Australia for research purposes in accordance with VPC policy and the Wildlife Protection (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act and can only be kept by specific Approved Scientific Institutions. Statutory or private zoos cannot keep species.
