Register of persons registered to use animals for scientific purposes

The register lists details of each entity registered to use animals for scientific purposes in Queensland in accordance with the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001.

The register contains:

  • the registered entity's name, address and registration number
  • animal ethics committee/s that assess the registered entity’s proposed projects
  • if the entity is not an individual, the office holder to whom the chairperson of the animal ethics committee must report
  • date of expiry of current registration
  • other information considered appropriate.

A registered entity or applicant for registration may apply to be exempted from disclosure of their registration details in the register, on the basis that they are likely to be disadvantaged by this disclosure.

Exemption from disclosing an entity's name can only be given if the person is an individual and not a corporation or learning institution.
