The workshops will walk producers through their NLIS requirements and navigation, completion of movement transactions and reporting functions on the NLIS database.
Participants will also learn how to update their Property Identification Code details.
All sheep, goats and cattle tagged with an electronic NLIS tag must be transferred on the NLIS database when they are moved between two different Victorian Property Identification Codes.
Agriculture Victoria technical specialist Kirstie Anderson said the aim was for producers to understand their livestock traceability requirements and how to manage their NLIS database account.
The workshops will run from 10 am to 3 pm, with lunch provided, at:
● Dookie: Friday, February 28 at University of Melbourne, 940 Dookie-Nalinga Rd, Dookie.
● Seymour: Friday, March 13 at DELWP, 15 Hume and Hovell Rd, Seymour.
