Overview FAQs Articles Locations

Pursuant to NSW Law you may be required to microchip and register your pet within 12 weeks of being born, or before being sold or given away. There are some exemptions or special conditions provided including:

  • Greyhounds;
  • Service Animals;
  • Nuisance Animals;
  • Restricted Dogs;
  • Dangerous Dogs.

where additional timeframes or restrictions may apply.

If you are unsure of your obligations as a pet owner, or if a complaint has been made about your pet, we can assist by informing you of your rights and responsibilities and the penalties if there is a contravention of these obligations.

If you are a neighbour or member of the community who is concerned about a local pet, their behaviour and whether they have been appropriately registered with the local Council, we can assist you with your enquiries and advise as to options that may be available to you if that dog is a nuisance, dangerous or restricted dogs.

We invite you to contact our firm on (02) 9233 4048 or send an email to info@navado.com.au and arrange an appointment to see one of our Compliance & Regulatory Law Solicitors.
