National Livestock Identification System

It is administered by Integrity Systems Company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Meat and Livestock Australia.

[3] The system improves food safety, acts as a market export assurance program which improves Australia's access to foreign export markets, and assists with disease control, tracing and management.

Farmers must register their property with their local jurisdictional government if they hold one or more heads of livestock.

The approved devices used are the commonly used ear tags or alternatively a rumen bolus.

[8] Similar systems exist in other countries such as the National Animal Identification System in the United States, the British Cattle Movement Service and the proposed National Animal Identification and Tracing in New Zealand.
