Unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular property, dogs must remain outside the property at all times and are not permitted indoors. Dogs are not permitted on furniture, bedding or soft furnishings unless specifically authorised for the property.

Properties not advertised as dog-friendly do not permit dogs under any circumstances, including visiting dogs. If a dog is found on-site at a non-dog-friendly property, First National Real Estate Bribie Island may immediately terminate the booking, require the Guest to vacate the property without refund, and charge any additional cleaning, damage, sanitisation or other associated costs incurred.

Such costs may be charged to the nominated payment card in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, including where authorised under the security bond pre-authorisation.

Failure to comply with this clause may result in immediate termination of the booking and eviction from the property without refund. The Guest will remain responsible for any applicable additional costs arising from the breach.

Assistance animals must:

• Remain under the Guest's effective control at all times;
• Be appropriately trained and suitably behaved;
• Not create unreasonable noise, disturbance, aggression or nuisance to neighbours or other guests; and

Any applicable costs may be charged to the nominated payment card in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, including where authorised under the security bond pre-authorisation.

First National Real Estate Bribie Island may take appropriate action where an assistance animal is not under effective control, poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, causes significant disruption or damage, or where restrictions apply under applicable laws, regulations or body corporate requirements.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to limit or exclude any rights or protections applying to assistance animals under applicable Australian law.

If any of these requirements are breached, First National Real Estate Bribie Island may issue warnings, attend the property where reasonably required, or terminate the booking where the breach is serious or continues.
