NLIS Tags for Queensland (QLD)

How to order NLIS ear tags for Queensland (QLD) properties:

If your property is in Queensland (QLD) you can order NLIS approved ear tags from our website, however all Queensland (QLD) properties must first obtain a Department of Primary Industry (DPI) Authority to purchase.

Contact Biosecurity Queensland (Tel: 13 25 23 or www.daf.qld.gov.au) and obtain an “Application for Permanent NLIS Device” form signed by a Queensland DPI inspector. This form will include the “DPI Order Number” and “DPI Expiry date” needed to be able to place an order on our website.
