The identification number can be either: a microchip number, a breeder identification number, or a rehoming organisation number. For more information visit www.dpi. nsw.gov.au/companion-animals.

Council Applauded For Supporting Small Business: Forbes Shire Council has been commended for its leadership in making it easier for local businesses to start and grow at the inaugural Small Business Friendly Councils Conference in Sydney on 16-17 May.
