Domestic Animals Act 2000

If a person is convicted or found guilty of an animal welfare offence or an offence against this Act (other than an excluded offence), the court may cancel a special licence held by the person or disqualify the person from holding a special licence for a period decided by the court.

In making a decision under subsection (1), the court must consider—

the acts or omissions of the person constituting the offence; and

any conviction or finding of guilty of the applicant within the last 10 years for an offence against a law of a Territory or State relating to the welfare, keeping or control of an animal.

Subsection (2) does not limit the matters that the court may consider.

If the court cancels or disqualifies a person from holding a special licence, the court must give particulars of the cancellation or disqualification to the registrar.
