Established in 1989, Central Animal Records commenced operation as Australia’s first animal microchip registry.
As Australia’s leading microchip registry – both in scale and in its approach towards innovation – Central Animal Records seamlessly integrates with other accredited national microchip registries. Today, Central Animal Records manages an ever-growing database of over 5 million animals and 3.8 million owners.
Central Animal Records works closely with veterinary clinics, animal welfare organisations, State governments, legislation developers, municipal councils, microchip distributors, pet owners, breeders and the Australian Veterinary Association to continue to return lost pets home as quickly as possible.
The first to adopt a 24/7 animal recovery service, Central Animal Records has facilitated the reunion of over 2.3 million lost, stolen or injured pets – each identified by their unique microchip implants.
When pets are registered with Central Animal Records, animal and owner data is maintained for the lifetime of the animal and beyond. A percentage of all subscription fees also supports many Australian animal welfare organisations.
