The native animal keepers' record book is a diary anyone with an animal keeper licence must use to record all the animals they acquire or dispose of. The electronic record book or e-book is the best and preferred way to do this but it can alternatively be done in a paper book by people who do not have access to a computer.
E-book
Login
Registered users can login to the e-book to document holdings.
Register
Any licensed animal keeper can register for the e-book. New licensees must wait until the first week of the month after they become licensed to register as all new licensees are loaded onto the e-book system at that time.
If your registration is unsuccessful, the email address you provided to OEH may have lapsed. Email wildlife.licensing@environment.nsw.gov.au with your licence number, name and date of birth to check and update your details.
