You can't. Rabbits are banned as pets in Queensland as they pose too great a risk to the environment through the actions of irresponsible pet owners who happily abandon their pets out in the bush. Rabbit licences are also not issued for educational purposes. There is no need for a school to keep a pet rabbit when a guinea pig will do just as well.

That means you cannot get a licence to keep rabbits in Queensland. Exceptions may be made for certain animal sanctuaries, but some of these keep rabbits illegally - or out of ignorance - because it is too difficult for them to obtain the necessary permission. Fines are quite high and it is not worth the risk.

Why can't you have rabbit as a pet in Australia?

You can have a pet rabbit in Australia but you CAN NOT have one in QLD. Rabbits are an introduced species and, since their introduction into Australia, they have caused countless damage to the native vegetation. As they breed much faster than native species do, and they compete with many native species for food, their presence has contributed to the extinction of some native animals. Throughout almost all states of Australia, rabbits are certainly permitted as pets, but Queensland has attempted to stem the tide of the rabbit population. Too many pet rabbits have been let loose, "gone bush" and subsequently bred into plague proportions. By restricting rabbit ownership in Qld, there are at least some controls on this happening too often. Valid arguments exist that suggest pet rabbits will not survive long in the wild. Unfortunately, their offspring do, usually being hardier than their parents.
