All livestock owners in the Estate have a duty of care and should regularly inspect their stock at least once per day, to ensure their welfare and urgently address any injuries or illness, to prevent animals suffering unnecessarily.

​

Under the NSW Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979, it is an offence to fail to provide veterinary treatment to an animal in need.  Failure to seek treatment (or where appropriate, euthanasia) of animals that are suffering can lead to heavy financial penalties and/or up to a year’s imprisonment under the Act.

​

The NSW Local Land Services have lots of information on their website (and can be contacted in person) to provide advice on preventative healthcare for livestock, including vaccinations, control of internal and external parasites, disease management etc.  Go to this link for further information
