Look. check. Ask a Vet.

RLPB District Vets are commited to helping keep properties free of emergency animal diseases. 

If you notice unusual disease symptoms, abnormal behaviour or unexpected deaths in your stock, immediately contact your RLPB District Veterinarian or Ranger.

A number of animal diseases, including all emergency animal diseases, are notifiable in NSW. This means you have a legal obligation to notify authorities if you know or suspect that an animal has one of these diseases.

Rural Lands Protection Boards deliver the frontline public animal health service in NSW. Our District Veterinarians and Animal Health Rangers deliver a range of national, state and local programs all aimed at safeguarding market access and enhance livestock productivity.

Our focus is:

  • emergency disease prevention, preparedness and response
  • advisory and diagnostic services
  • disease surveillance and reporting
  • residue management
  • certification
  • traceability systems such as NLIS
  • regulation.

RLPBs also assist animal welfare agencies with livestock animal welfare issues and deal with livestock concerns during emergencies such as drought, bushfires and floods.
