Travelling with assistance dogs
If you want to fly with your assistance dog, you will need to check with the airline whether they accept assistance dogs before you buy your ticket. Currently each airline company has a different approach and policy.
Disability Discrimination Act
Airline providers need to follow the Disability Discrimination Act and you can make a complaint if they do not follow the Act. For information on making a complaint visit the Australian Human Rights Commission website.
