The National Livestock Identification System Database (NLIS) https://www.nlis.com.au/ keeps details about property identification codes ("PIC") nationally.
===== NSW/Sydney =====
* All eggs sold in NSW must be individually stamped with the producer's unique identifier, usually a number or code<ref>https://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/industry/eggs/egg-stamping#:~:text=The%20NSW%20Food%20Authority%20only,not%20intended%20as%20consumer%20advice.</ref>.
** There are no mandatory images, symbols or lettering. The NSW Food Authority only stipulates that the stamp is a unique code that is assigned exclusively to one producer.
** Businesses supplying eggs interstate will need to research the stamping requirements of the destination.
* Impact of egg stamping on egg producers<ref>https://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/_Documents/industry/egg_stamping_review.pdf</ref>
** Not all egg producers and processors in NSW are required to stamp their eggs due to exemptions under the NSW Food Regulation 2015.
** As of 16 Feb 2016, there are 198 egg production and processing facilities licensed by the Food Authority that are required to stamp eggs with a unique identifier.
** Only facilities with production above 240 eggs per week are licensed.
** Egg primary producers do not need to stamp their eggs if they sell directly to an egg processor, who then applies a stamp to each egg on the producer’s behalf
** There are many egg producers producing fewer than 240 eggs per week, who are required to stamp their eggs as they are sold through the retail supply chain
** Eggs sold direct from the farm gate from these businesses are exempt from stamping.
** The Food Authority maintains an electronic record of egg stamping information (e.g. alpha numeric code, images) as part of businesses overall compliance history.
===== Victoria/Melbourne =====
* An egg producer with 50 birds or more must mark individual chicken eggs with a unique identification code.<ref>https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/livestock-and-animals/poultry-and-eggs/compliance/complying-with-the-egg-production-standard</ref>
* In Victoria, the PIC register ("Property Identification Code") is used to provide producers with their egg stamp code.
