AQIS

The AQIS Detector Dogs help to protect Australia's flora and fauna by preventing the entry of exotic pests and diseases.

A team of friendly Beagles work in and around our International Airports. They have an extraordinary sense of smell, which helps Quarantine Officers to seize about 15,000 items a month.

Another team works in our international mail centres. Learn about their passive and active response programs and how the dogs are trained.
