QUEENSLAND:
You will need a recreational wildlife license, and an international add on. The only other paperwork is the movement advice. These forms are available from the Queensland Government Environment and Resource Management.
Recreational Wildlife License Application Form: https://www.epa.qld.gov.au/rwl/faces/jsp/login.jsp copy and paste this into your URL to fill in the form. Apply for both the recreational and international licenses. Because there is the international component the license will not be assessed online, it can be applied for online but it is assessed offline by an individual wildlife officer, this takes a little longer.
