May I ask @ChefDean please, can you send seeds to me in Queensland, Australia? Australia has strict biosecurity requirements but from what I could find out: Drosera species are not on the excluded list; Seeds need to be in clear baggies/envelopes (so they can be visually inspected); Seeds need Genus species labels; Must be free from dirt and insects. Of course I'm happy to pay for packaging, labels, postage

I would like to request some Drosera species, just checking first to be sure I don't waste your time and seeds if you've had problems sending to Australia previously.

I've sent to Australia a few times. The quantity is small enough that there's never been an issue, the instructions for an international request are in the inventory thread in the seed bank forum.
However, in a nutshell, international requests are three packs once every three months. You make a request on the seed bank forum, I acknowledge and send my PayPal info, you send $2 US to cover postage and supplies, I send the seeds.
You're eligible for Class 0 seeds now, tomorrow you'll be eligible for Class 1.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.
