Registering as a saleyard with NAIT

By registering as a saleyard in National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT), you can record animal movements to your location.

Your NAIT responsibilities as a saleyard

As a saleyard handling NAIT animals, you are responsible for appointing and registering a Person in Charge of Animals (PICA) for each location. Each PICA is assigned a unique NAIT number.

At a saleyard, your PICA can be either:

• a stock company (or nominated person on behalf of the company)
• the saleyard owner (or nominated person representing the owner).

Your responsibilities as a PICA at a saleyard

As a nominated PICA at a saleyard, you are responsible for:

• getting a NAIT number for each location
• all NAIT obligations for each NAIT location
• day-to-day management of animals including sourcing, selling and managing animals moved through the location.

Registering your saleyard with NAIT

To register your saleyard with NAIT, you must provide:

• details for 1 user who will be the PICA account holder for each location
• the addresses of the locations where you operate — we allocate a NAIT location number for each site.

Contact our Support Centre to register.
