What are your integrity requirements as a new producer?

A Property Identification Code (PIC) is an eight-character code that is required for all livestock movements in the NLIS.   PICs are provided by the relevant state or territory government, and when you purchase NLIS-approved devices, suppliers will verify your PIC before processing the order. A list of the purchased devices (the RFID and NLIS ID numbers) is uploaded to your PIC in the NLIS database, where they will remain until they are moved, marked as deceased, or deactivated.   You can click on ‘view/generate all reports’ in your NLIS account and then choose the ‘devices purchased’ report to obtain...

Early warning (EW) is a status within the NLIS database that is automatically assigned to a property carrying high-risk animals. It is one of several ‘property identification code (PIC)-based statuses’ assigned within the database. The EW status does not identify what the status is for or which specific animals are high-risk. The EW status helps monitor and manage food safety and biosecurity risk along the entire supply chain. It gives livestock buyers and agents forewarning of a potential risk by flagging that the PIC may have high risk animals associated with it. The buyer or agent is then able to...

Find out how to register for LPA and become accredited for first time

LPA accreditation is linked to a property identification code (PIC). To become LPA-accredited, first you need to register your PIC with your state department.   The person responsible for livestock on the PIC needs to ensure that on-farm management systems meet LPA requirements and that all personnel working within the management system associated to the LPA accreditation are aware and trained  on these requirements.   An LPA accreditation must be obtained before a livestock producer associated with that property is able to access and use LPA National Vendor Declarations (NVDs).   Producers becoming LPA-accredited for the first time should complete the...

The showground (or event site) must have a Property Identification Code (PIC). The event committee is responsible for reporting all movements of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs to the NLIS database within 48 hours of the livestock leaving the event, in line with QLD requirements for reporting these movements. All livestock movements from the property of origin to the event and return must be accompanied by a movement record, completed by the person who is moving the animal. If you are an LPA-accredited producer, you must use an LPA NVD as the movement record. The event organiser must record the...

The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) is Australia's system for the identification and traceability of cattle, sheep and goats.

Third-party authorisation is a popular request for both Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) and the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) accounts. Primary account holders should ensure any third parties are added to their accounts well in advance, to avoid any account access issues or delays. Primary LPA account holders can use the LPA Third-Party Authorisation Form to request third-party access that enables: shared access of the existing LPA account (for family members or farm managers); or a separate LPA account to be created on their Property Identification Code (PIC) (for agisting parties). Primary NLIS account holders can use the NLIS Third-Party...
