Agriculture Victoria have provided an update regarding HomeSafeID animal (microchip) registry service no longer being licensed under the Domestic Animals Act 1994 for Victorian pet owners.

All Victorian records for cats, dogs and horses from HomeSafeID are being transferred to Central Animal Records in accordance with the Domestic Animals Regulations 2015 and the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014.

Affected owners will be contacted by Central Animal Records with further information, including details on how to update your records. You may access the information you have previously provided to HomesafeID following the completion of the migration.

More information is available on Agriculture Victoria’s website including what pet owners 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.
