Pet business licensees
Part 3A of the Animal Welfare Act 1992 outlines the requirements for pet businesses operating within the ACT. The ACT Animal Welfare Authority may issue a licence for a period up to 5 years.
A pet business means a pet shop, a business that boards an animal, or a business prescribed by regulation. Veterinary practices and entities that sell or board animals for an animal welfare or benevolent purpose are exempt, for example, a foster carer for guide dogs or the RSPCA.
The term board in relation to an animal, includes boarding the animal during the day or overnight.
