Laws for microchip implanters
You must have the correct qualifications and have completed a required course to become a microchip implanter.
Only a veterinarian is allowed to microchip a cat or dog younger than 8 weeks, and only if:
- it will not risk the animal’s health
- they give the person presenting the cat or dog a signed veterinary surgeon’s certificate to that effect.
Apply to become a microchip implanter
You will need several qualifications to become an authorised microchip implanter.
Pre-requisite qualifications
Veterinarians must hold a Bachelor of Veterinary Science that can be registered in Queensland or hold an equivalent degree in another state.
Other types of implanters, such as veterinary nurses, must be qualified in the care and handling of cats and/or dogs (for example, you’ll need a qualification in veterinary nursing, a Certificate in Animal Technology or a Bachelor of Applied Science in Animal Science).
