Vic Ads Must Include Microchip Number
When advertising a dog in Victoria, your ad must include the dog's full microchip indentification number*. Microchipping laws apply in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Advertising a dog in Victoria without including its microchip number is now an offence. If you do not include the dog's microchip number in your ad, we have no choice but to delete your ad and issue a warning. Repeat offenders will be banned. Please help Petlink to enforce this policy by reporting offending ads here. (*Note: A registered domestic animal business may use its Council business registration number as an alternative.)

Directly from Petlink website .............. Effectively means on such sites cannot commence advertising until puppies are micro chipped.
