Under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Regulations 2019, electronic shock collars (excluding citronella or non-shock GPS collars) are strictly restricted to dogs and cats. For dogs, anti-bark and remote training collars must meet specific technical standards and can only be used on animals over six months old that have been deemed physically and temperamentally suitable by a veterinarian. Furthermore, these collars must not be worn for more than 12 hours in any 24-hour period, must be introduced via an approved training program, and can only be applied by, or under the direct written supervision of, a qualified dog trainer or veterinary practitioner, with mandatory reviews conducted within the first six months and annually thereafter. 

NSW - WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL TRAINING COLLARS INTO NSW

In New South Wales, the use, possession, and sale of electronic shock collars are strictly prohibited under Section 16 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979, with details publicly available on the official NSW Legislation website and through the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI). While the state enforces a total ban on remote training and anti-bark shock collars, carrying severe penalties for individuals and corporations, the law provides a single narrow exception for electronic containment systems. These invisible boundary systems are only permitted if they are paired with a secure, physical perimeter fence that stands at least 1.5 metres high. 

QLD

In Queensland, electronic shock collars, including remote training, anti-bark, and containment systems, remain entirely legal to buy, own, and use, as the state does not enforce specific restrictions or an outright ban. Instead, their use is governed broadly by the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 (QLD), which outlines a strict "duty of care" requiring owners to protect animals from unreasonable pain or distress. While the Queensland Government recently updated this legislation to officially ban pronged collars, electronic shock collars remain permitted as long as they are used responsibly and do not cause injuries or severe suffering that would legally qualify as animal cruelty.

In the Northern Territory, the use of electronic collars is regulated under the Animal Protection Act (recently updated to the Animal Protection and Related Legislation Amendment Act 2025).

While Section 30 of the Act enforces a general ban on using electrical devices on animals, the accompanying regulations list specific exceptions. Under these exceptions, it is legal to use bark collars and electronic containment systems on dogs; however, remote-controlled training collars are strictly prohibited for standard consumer use. Any permitted use of an electronic collar must still align with a pet owner's legal "minimum level of care" responsibilities, meaning the device cannot be used in a manner that causes injury or severe distress, which would constitute an offense under the territory's updated animal cruelty laws.

WA

In Western Australia, the use, possession, and sale of electronic shock training collars, anti-bark collars, and invisible fence containment systems are legal for dogs under a specific regulatory exemption. While the Animal Welfare Act 2002 broadly categorizes electric shock equipment as inhumane, Regulation 7 of the Animal Welfare (General) Regulations 2003 provides a legal defense for their use on dogs, provided the devices are applied in accordance with generally accepted methods of usage. This means that while owners do not require a formal permit or veterinary prescription to use them, the collars must be used responsibly; any misuse that results in severe physical distress or injury remains subject to prosecution under the state's broader animal cruelty laws. 

SA - WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL TRAINING & CONTAINMENT COLLARS INTO SA
https://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/lz?path=/c/a/animal%20welfare%20act%201985
In South Australia, electronic shock collars, including remote trainers, anti-bark collars, and invisible containment fences, are completely illegal to possess, sell, or use under Section 15 of the Animal Welfare Act 1985 (SA). The state enforces a blanket prohibition with no consumer exemptions, meaning that attaching an electric shock device to an animal for containment or behavioral modification is a prosecutable offense, regardless of whether the device is turned on. Pet owners in SA must rely on humane, non-electronic alternatives like positive reinforcement or vibration-only training tools. 

TAS

In Tasmania, electronic shock collars are currently legal to purchase, possess, and use, as the state does not have an outright ban or specific standalone restrictions targeting them. Instead, they fall under the broad regulations of the Animal Welfare Act 1993, which requires that any device used on an animal must not cause unjustifiable pain, distress, or suffering. While the use of shock collars is permitted for general behavioral training and containment, a recent Tasmanian Government position paper on dog welfare outlined proposals to only allow devices that emit an audible or vibratory warning signal before a shock is delivered. 

ACT - WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL TRAINING & CONTAINMENT COLLARS INTO ACT
https://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/1992-45/
In the Australian Capital Territory, electronic shock collars are entirely illegal under Section 13 of the Animal Welfare Act 1992 (ACT), which strictly prohibits placing any electric shock device on an animal or administering a shock. The territory maintains a complete blanket ban with zero consumer exemptions, meaning that remote training collars, automatic anti-bark collars, and invisible boundary containment fences are all unlawful to use. Pet owners in the ACT must utilize humane, non-electronic training methods, as using any shock-based equipment faces strict prosecution under the territory's animal welfare laws.
