What your dog registration pays for

Dog registration fees benefit all dog owners and the public.

Dog registration fees help us:

  • ensure all dogs are registered
  • respond to dog attacks and complaints about barking and stray animals
  • provide shelter services, impoundment and care for strays
  • reunite lost dogs with their owners
  • rehome dogs through our adoption programmes
  • provide dog safety education for dog owners, schools and the public
  • attend community events to promote dog safety and responsible ownership
  • enforce compliance and issue infringements
  • patrol beaches, parks and high-risk areas
  • prosecute serious dog-related offences under the Dog Control Act.
