Travelling from UK to Australia with creatine and whey protein

I am travelling to Australia next month from the UK, and would like to take my pack of Whey Protein and tub of Creatine with me.

Am I best to take these in carry on, or checked luggage?

I have a brand new, sealed, 1kg bag of Whey powder, and a tub of already opened Creatine tablets. Both clearly labelled from MyProtein UK.

Also, will this cause hassle when going through customs, and what should be declared?

Thanks!

Remember that Australia is extremely strict about biosecurity, and you could be fined if you don't declare something that should have been declared, even if it is allowed. Because whey is made from milk, it is a dairy product, and you should tick Yes to the appropriate question on the incoming passenger card.

Meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs, dairy, fruit, vegetables?

After you go through the SmartGate and reclaim your baggage, show your whey and creatine at customs/biosecurity and you should have no problems.
