Removal of Remains for Transport — Federal Health Regulations
When a body needs to be transported interstate or internationally (repatriation), the paperwork is set by state and territory health departments and by the destination country. From a human biosecurity perspective there are no Australian documentation requirements or restrictions for exporting human remains out of Australia, but other countries may require letters for export or nil infectious disease letters — contact the state or territory health department where the death occurred.
