Griffith City Council will hold a free microchipping day at Kubank Park, Parkinson Crescent, Griffith, on Saturday, 28 September from 10am to 1pm. This event provides a valuable opportunity for pet owners in the Griffith area to ensure their pets are microchipped, and that their details are accurate and up-to-date.
Pet owners are invited to bring their pets along, and our team will check if your pet is already microchipped. If your pet is not microchipped, we will provide this service for free.
Additionally, if your pet's microchip details are incorrect, our team will help you update the information on the Companion Animals Register after the event.
Our Pound & Animal Rehoming Centre Team will be available to answer questions and offer advice on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of registration and proper care.
The Friends of the Griffith Pound will also be on hand to provide information about their desexing program and to offer desexing vouchers to eligible residents.
This event aligns with Griffith City Council's commitment to promoting responsible pet ownership and ensuring compliance with the Companion Animals Act 1998, which requires pet owners to have their pets microchipped and 'Lifetime Registered'. Microchipping your pet by the time they are 12 weeks old is a legal requirement, and registration should be completed by the time the pet is 12 weeks old or when it is sold, if earlier.
We encourage all pet owners to take advantage of this free service.
