Changes to the NAIT law

Changes to the National Animal Identification and Tracing Act have been passed by Parliament. The changes include:

• tightening the rules for handling untagged animals
• improving the use of data
• aligning penalties with related Acts to reflect the seriousness of non-compliance
• updating the performance framework for the organisation running NAIT
• allowing cost recovery for accreditation and audit.

 
Changes also include new transportation requirements that will make a significant difference in the effectiveness of tracing animal movements.
