Life Time Protection for your pet
pet registration1
New law protects pets and people
Register Now!!!!

In NSW, around 80,000 dogs and cats are lost, hurt or stolen each year. Most are impounded and are not able to be identified.

The Companion Animals Act was introduced by the NSW Government in 1998 to protect pets, their owners and the broader community. Animal micro-chipping now allows for your beloved pet to be returned to it's home in the event it is hurt, lost or stolen.

For further information on how to register your pet, including a full list of fees, brochures, forms and Frequently Asked Questions, please visit the Companion Animals website.

The NSW Wildlife Information and Rescue Service (WIRES) is the largest wildlife rescue organisation in Australia. When an echidna is hit by a car, a possum is attacked by a cat or a lizard gets its head stuck in a drink can - WIRES is there to help.

If you find an injured or orphaned native animal, handle it as little as possible, follow the simple animal first aid steps and call your local WIRES representative on 6778 4994, or 0412 106 785, or alternatively try the national toll free number on 1800 641 888.
