About Us
The Australasian Animal Registry (AAR) was established in 1989 and is the largest not-for-profit and most comprehensive animal registration and recovery service in Australasia. AAR is a division of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS). The RAS has been in existence since 1822 and places a high priority on the care of all animals. AAR follows the guiding principles and policies of its parent organization.

AAR services all states of Australia and New Zealand.

As at 30 June 2008, AAR maintains records for over 1 million animals
from across Australia and New Zealand. This includes dogs, cats, birds, horses, zoo animals and even ferrets.

Regarded by many as the most reliable animal microchip database across Australasia, AAR provides an accurate and independent service designed to assist in the speedy recovery of registered animals.

Only authorised users are able to access the animal records for recovery purposes. This includes councils, animal welfare agencies and veterinary clinics. A secure system of ID numbers and AAR staff training ensure the integrity of this process.
