The Government is committed to banning the import of hunting trophies from species of conservation concern, which is the most effective approach the Government can take on this matter.

The department continues to engage with relevant stakeholders to ensure that we can implement a robust ban.

Timeframes for introducing legislation will be provided once the Parliamentary timetable for future sessions is determined.
