Transportation Services
For over 30 years the Animal Resources Centre has been dedicated to providing safe and efficient transportation of laboratory animals and related products throughout Australia and overseas. Building and maintaining strong and reliable relationships with our airline partners, freight forwarders, road couriers and customs agents ensures we can confidently transport animals. As a client this means less stress for you and less stress for the animal.
Australian and International clients can be assured that our optional door to door delivery is undertaken by professionals in the field of laboratory animal transportation. Our experienced partners assist us with hundreds of shipments a week throughout Australia and worldwide. Let the Animal Resources Centre team of transportation experts assist you in providing the most efficient and cost effective solution that will meet your needs.
The ARC Advantage
Our facility is located close to domestic and international airports, and trusted road couriers, with specially trained drivers delivering animals. Animals are shipped in filtered, IATA-approved shippers with high quality food, gel packs and bedding.
Temperature controlled cabinets are available at Perth Airport for our exclusive use. This allows the animals to rest in monitored, temperate conditions prior to departure. The internal and external box temperatures are closely monitored to comply with animal welfare practices. The Animal Resources Centre will postpone any animal shipment if the ground temperature risks animal welfare.
Established relationships with major airline carriers guarantee competitive rates, a reliable and flexible service, and excellent safety records. Our customer service team can provide you with transportation options to suit your individual needs.
