The NLIS database homepage offers very clear guides to assist account holders - producers, third party, livestock agents etc. Select "Help Tools" at the top of the page. The guides are freely available for download. Hardcopy versions will be forwarded when a new account is created. A Step by step guide to creating an account has been published by the Victorian DPI and could be useful to you. Please note - to create an account to monitor cattle on your property or to perform transfers on the NLIS database, you will be required to provide your PIC, which is issued when you register for a brand.
