I don't know if this question has been asked before, but is it hard to get seeds in Australia? Can you ship in seeds from outside?
It's a bit complicated. Unless I am running a business, I am not going to try to find out all the laws and regulations.
In Australia, each state have their own bio-security laws you need to complied with, which means there are certain plant materials (seeds included) are not allowed to be send to particular states, unless you have applied for the required permits, which for most people is not worth the efforts, unless you are operating a bigger business.
To import seeds or plant materials from other countries, there will be more requirements, including phytosanitary certificate, permit for particular species (lots of species are not permitted), quarantine requirements and etc..... lots of documentations.
There are some bigger suppliers that provide phytosanitary certificate if you purchased from them.
Of cause, there are always people who do it illegally.
