Transition to sheep and goat individual electronic identification

NSW stakeholder feedback survey

NSW Department of Primary Industries in partnership with the goat and sheep industries, is working towards transitioning towards individual electronic identification (eIDs).

The move to mandatory sheep and goat eIDs has been agreed to between government and industry, with agriculture ministers across Australia agreeing to work towards a national ‘go live’ date of 1 January 2025.

Your feedback is essential to inform the implementation plan for sheep and goat eIDs in NSW.

Please fill out this survey with your thoughts. If you have anything further you'd like to add, email it through to livestock.traceability@dpi.nsw.gov.au.
