About us

The Livestock Health and Pest Authorities work collaboratively with rural producers, government and industry to safeguard agriculture in NSW.

Fourteen authorities, with staff at almost 60 locations across the state, provide the frontline animal health service in NSW.

Our core areas of responsibility are animal health, pest animal and insect control and travelling stock reserves.

We work in close partnership with Industry & Investment NSW and other government and industry agencies to carry out our goals.

Livestock Health and Pest Authorities assist producers in ensuring they have correctly identified their livestock and that stock movement is carried out in accordance with requirements. They also assist with drought and natural disaster relief.
