Questions answered on LPA registration

As many of you may be aware, Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) is currently running a campaign in the media about the need to progress your LPA registration from Provisional to Accredited by 1 March 2008. The request for this move to Accredited has been made by the Livestock Production Assurance Advisory Committee, which is made up of Industry Stakeholders.

How do I know if I am Accredited?

Put simply, if a NVD book that you are using has your PIC number printed in it then you are Accredited (for each species of NVD book that you have.)

How do I move to Accredited?

By calling the hotline, 1800 683 111, and choosing option 2 or online at the website www.mla.com.au/lqs and choosing the “Manage Your LPA Profile” link on the right hand side of the page in the red box.

Do I have to order a new NVD book when I become Accredited?

No, you can continue to use the provisional book of NVDs at this time.

What does being Accredited mean?

That you have agreed to comply with the LPA Rules and Standards and you are in the LPA Random Audit Pool for Food Safety.

How may properties are registered for goats on the LPA database?

There are currently 7,195 registrations in the LPA database registered for goats.
