It is mandatory for an animal to be wearing an identification tag.

Change of ownership

Any changes to the information provided on the registration application must be advised in writing to Monash Council Animal Management: PO Box 1, Glen Waverley VIC 3150 or email: mail@monash.vic.gov.au

Microchipping and desexing

Microchipping

Any changes to the information provided on the registration application must be advised in writing to Monash Council Animal Management: PO Box 1, Glen Waverly VIC 3150 or email: mail@monash.vic.gov.au

Cats and dogs must be registered and microchipped by 3 months of age.

Microchipping is mandatory, and satisfactory proof (a certificate signed and dated by a registered vet or by a licensed agent certified to undertake microchipping) is required.

The National Pet Register is Australia's largest non-profit pet identification service, and is run by The Lost Dogs' Home.

The National Pet Register reunites more than 23,000 lost pets with their owners every year. Make sure your pet is microchipped by a National Pet Register agent.

Desexing

Desexed animals are less likely to wander, spray to mark territory, and be aggressive.

Pets from 8 weeks of age can be desexed by a vet, and most fully recover within 24 hours.

Deceased animal

You can notify us via:

  • Email to Council about the details at mail@monash.vic.gov.au
  • Call Council - 9518 3555
  • Return the registration renewal form by ticking the deceased section
  • SMS us back once the reminder messages go out to the public about non renewals

It is possible to ask for a refund, however no refunds are granted after 1 July each year, as we have to make a payment to the state government for each registered animal.
