Brands Act 1915

The registrar, if satisfied that an application made by the owner of a horse and cattle brand (other than a symbol brand) for a symbol brand is in conformity with this Act, shall allot to the applicant a symbol brand and shall register the same in conjunction with such horse and cattle brand.

Such a symbol brand may be imprinted upon an animal in accordance with this Act either instead of or in addition to such horse and cattle brand.

A symbol brand shall not be registered nor shall any person use such a brand unless it includes a dot to the right of and on the line with the lower part of the symbol brand.

Such a dot upon any horse, camel or head of cattle shall be evidence and, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, conclusive evidence that the symbol brand of which it forms a part was, at the time of the imprinting of such brand, registered in Queensland.
