Code of Conduct

QFA Inc has a Code of Conduct which covers all exhibitors at shows, executive committee, delegates , club members and registered breeders. It also covers Social Media use.
The Code of Conduct document can be found on the Rules and Regulations page under the Breeders Info tab on the Home page.

Notice to all Breeders
After Further discussion at QFA Inc General Meeting Wednesday 20th March 2019 all Breeders are notified that as from 31st July 2019 no litters will be registered without the Sire and Dams microchip number being supplied to the registrar with all litter registrations.

Due to existing Regulations by the Queensland State Government regarding Microchipping of all cats and kittens over the age of 12 weeks all breeders sending in registrations must include the Microchip number of both Sire and Dam.

Microchipping for cats and dogs is mandatory in ACT, NSW, QLD, VIC and WA. Microchipping for dogs only is compulsory in TAS.

Section 14 of the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 requires microchipping of cats and dogs prior to 12 weeks of age unless there is a reasonable excuse (such as a signed veterinary certificate that it would be detrimental to the animal’s health to implant it or it is an exempt dog).

If the microchip number is not included in the Litter registrations the registrations will be processed by the registrars and all breeders are asked to forward the microchip number when it is obtainable so as the Registrars may update the QFA Inc database.

There is a form on the QFA Inc Website in the Breeders Info tab under forms for all breeders to complete and send to registrars once microchip numbers are obtained within a few months for all Cats and Kittens.

QFA is now taking expression of interest from those interested in training to be qualified Stewards and Ringclerks.
