Summary

​This report describes inspection and rejection procedures that may occur between the vendor property and port for live sheep exports from ports in South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. The current systems are believed to be compliant with all requirements as stipulated in the ASEL and the Export Control (Animals) Order 2004. The report suggests that the current Fremantle wharf inspection procedures be retained as the final individual animal inspection procedure and that consideration be given to trialling this system in South Australia and Victoria.
