Homesafe ID Microchip UPDATE

Published on 27 February 2025

Agriculture Victoria have advised that from 7 February 2025 HomeSafeID is no longer licenced under the Domestic Animals Act 1994 to keep and maintain an animal (microchip) registry service for Victorian pet owners.

If your pet’s microchip was registered with HomeSafeID, Agriculture Victoria has information on their website on what you need to do now.

If you are unsure if your pet’s microchip was registered with HomeSafeID, you can visit petaddress.com.au, enter the microchip number and it will let you know which database it’s registered to.

Any questions regarding this matter can be directed to Agriculture Victoria by calling ph: 13 61 86.
