Transported Stock Statement Information

The Transported Stock System was first introduced in 1990 partly to assist the Police Service to track stolen stock.

The TSS Scheme is provided for in Part 10A of the Rural Lands Protection Act 1998.

When Do I have to use a TSS?

A Transported Stock Statement is to be used whenever transporting stock in NSW.

Where do I get a TSS?

A TSS can be organised through the LBCA or your local Rural Lands Protection Board.

A TSS is approved by the Stock Accreditation Committee which is made up of the LBCA, Rural Crime Police and Department of Primary Industries.

To organise a TSS, please contact the LBCA on (02) 6230 6290 or office@lbca.org.au

  2. when stock are transported across or along a road from one part of a holding to another part that would be contiguous with the first-mentioned part but for being separated by the road;
  3. when stock are transported to or from a place for treatment by a veterinary surgeon;
