Why is Australia so much more?

Quarantine at Mickleham, the import permit, three extra tests for dogs and a longer cargo route. The DAFF fee schedule publishes the permit and quarantine charges and they change.

Are these prices fixed?

No. Only the MOCCAE and CVRL lines are published fees. The rest are typical Dubai prices on the verification date and vary by clinic, crate size and carrier.
