Biosecurity Act 2014

For the movement record requirement, a movement record that relates to the movement of a designated animal is in the appropriate form if it is a document in hard copy or electronic form that clearly sets out the following information—

the name of the person completing the record;

details sufficient to identify the place from which the designated animal is being moved;

where the designated animal is being moved to, and the name and address of the person who is to receive the animal;

the proposed date of the movement of the designated animal;

the species and breed of the designated animal;

a description of the designated animal or, if the animal is part of a group of designated animals that are moved from the place where the animals are kept, a description of the group, including, for example, any distinguishing marks or features on the animal or group that may be sufficient to identify the animal or group;

other information prescribed under a regulation.

Also, to be in the appropriate form, a movement record for a designated animal that is a special designated animal must—

be signed by the individual completing the record unless the record is created and kept only in electronic form; and

bear a serial number that is unique for the record; and

state the PIC shown on any approved device that does not include a microchip that is fitted to the animal.

A single document, whether in hard copy or electronic form, may be used for more than 1 movement record if the movements relate to a designated animal other than a special designated animal.
