National Livestock Identification Scheme (NLIS) - Australian Government

You will be required to comply with the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) if you are a producer, saleyard, processor or have livestock under your control. You will require registration for all livestock under your control and you must record their movements.

The NLIS is Australia's system for the identification and tracing of cattle, goats, lambs and sheep. It is a permanent whole-of-life identification system that tracks individual animals from property of birth to slaughter for food safety, product integrity and market access purposes.
