For the safety of your dog and the comfort, safety and enjoyment of all attendees,
Tiaro Field Day 2026 has a “No Dogs Policy” that complies with current Queensland and federal law, including: Guide, Hearing and Assistance Dogs Act 2009 (Qld), the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) and the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.:
- General Rule – No Companion Dogs or Pets:
• Domestic dogs or other companion animals are not permitted at the Tiaro Field Day at any time. This exclusion is for public safety, livestock welfare, and animal management reasons, including ensuring that your dog is safe from any zoonotic diseases that may be passed on to them by livestock.
YOU WILL BE REFUSED ENTRY.
- Assistance Dogs / Service Animals (Allowed):
• A guide, hearing, or assistance dog (certified assistance animals) is permitted entry. This is in accordance with the Guide, Hearing and Assistance Dogs Act 2009 (Qld) and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth),
• This includes certified assistance dogs and, where applicable, handlers with valid identification for their assistance dog.
• You will be required to produce evidence that the dog is a certified assistance animal (ID card as shown below). An "Assistance Dog" harness purchased online does not provide the animal any public access rights. An ID card from a registered PAT (Public Access Test) organisation is required to be shown prior to entry. (Yes, we are allowed to ask for evidence. We are not allowed to ask about why you have an Assistance dog).
- Animal Control and Behaviour:
• All animals permitted on site (e.g. assistance dogs) must at all times be:

B) On a lead and well-behaved.
• Any animal that displays aggressive or unsafe behaviour may be asked to leave the event for the safety of others.
