Animal Management
Registration
The NSW Companion Animals Act was introduced in 1999 to protect pets, their owners and the broader community.
The new Act introduced measures such as microchipping and lifetime registration of all new kittens, puppies, cats and dogs sold or given away after 1 July 1999 and all dogs must be chipped and lifetime registered.
Cats born before 1 July 1999 do not have to be registered unless they are sold or transfer ownership. All cats born, sold or given away after 1 July 1999 must be microchipped and lifetime registered.
