Public register availability

The public register presents data extracted from internal business systems at the Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA).

The data is refreshed after close of business each working day. Contact us if you have any doubt with information currency. The public register should reflect the authoritative registration information as at close of business on the previous business day. We aim for 24/7 access but there may occasionally be technical issues preventing this.
