Licensing Information in South Australia

Licensing information is constantly changing.  Therefore this is to be used as a guide only.

For basic species you do not need a permit to keep one individual, but to sell or otherwise dispose of that animal would require a Basic Keep and Sell Permit.

Basic species are those that are common in captivity and/or in their natural habitat and are fully protected.  These species are usually easy to keep in captivity.

As of May 2011, a Keep and Sell Permit (Basic) cost $60 for 1 year and requires the holder of the permit to maintain a record book and submit a stock return to the DENR Fauna Permit Unit at the end of each financial year.  For more information, including a Basic animals list, click here.
