How we assess export licence applications
We then decide about the application and let you know the outcome by email.
It’s important to make sure your application is complete, and all required information is included, or the assessment may take longer.

You do not have to use the Export Service
Using the Export Service provides a simpler, faster way to apply for, renew, vary or cancel meat export licences. It is not mandatory though.
You have the option to use the Export Service or follow the existing process to submit a PDF application form. To request the PDF form, email exportmeatlicensing@aff.gov.au.
