Each business type has a code of practice that sets out the minimum standard for operation. This includes requirements for the welfare of animals and issues such as:
- ventilation
- waste management
- hygiene
- staff care and responsibilities.
Businesses are also required to comply with all relevant City of Melbourne requirements including Building and Development, Health and Local Laws. Domestic animal businesses must apply to register with us and must renew their registration each year prior to 10 April.
Please contact us to request information about registering an animal shelter, pound, training or rearing business.
