Declared pests

Many non-native or introduced exotic animals have established feral populations in WA and have been declared pests under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007.

Permits issued under the BAM Act are required to import and keep exotic animals in WA, except for exempt animals, such as stock and common domestic pets. The keeping of WA native animals is managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), which issues licenses for native fauna.
