Register your horse for vaccination (NSW Buffer Zones only)

Buffer zones have been declared in several parts of New South Wales as a way of containing equine influenza.

To create an effective buffer, all horses within the zone need to be vaccinated. These vaccinations are being coordinated by local vaccination centres within the Buffer Zone area.

Many horse owners in these zones have already been contacted by NSW DPI survey teams, by other departmental staff, or by the State Emergency Service, to organise vaccination. If you believe your horse/s are in a Buffer Zone, and you haven't been contacted yet, let us know.

You can check if your horses need to be vaccinated by:

• checking your horse/s location against the areas declared as buffer zones,
• ringing the Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888, or
• completing in the vaccination enquiry form [PDF] and sending it to your local vaccination centre.

Fax numbers and phone numbers for the local vaccination centres are listed on the following website.
