The Livestock Production Assurance National Vendor Declaration (NVD) and electronic National Vendor Declaration (eNVD) are legal documents which communicate the food safety and treatment status of every animal as it moves through the supply chain.
To access NVDs and eNVDs, producers must be accredited with the Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) program.
LPA is the Australian red meat industry’s on-farm assurance program which underpins market access for our meat.
eNVDs are the fast, easy way to complete livestock consignments. They are free, more accurate than paper forms and ensure all livestock movement information is digitally captured.
Don’t have internet access? The problems that arise from having no internet access have been dealt with by the eNVD mobile app. Once the app has been downloaded in an internet service area, it is possible to share consignments with your transporter or receiver by using in-built QR code functionality.
NVDs and eNVDs are key to Australian red meat traceability and market access. They are also your pledge that the meat from your farm has been produced safely, ethically and meets biosecurity requirements.
When you sign your LPA NVD or eNVD, you are declaring your on-farm practices meet the seven requirements of the LPA program and ultimately customer expectations. This means you can stand by what you sell.

The LPA electronic National Vendor Declaration (eNVD) system is a faster, easier way to complete livestock consignments. An LPA eNVD is the digital alternative to paper-based NVDs. The eNVD system is not just a place to fill out a NVD – it is a system for completing all consignment paperwork digitally including livestock assurance and health declarations.
The following forms are available using the eNVD:
When you select to create a new consignment within the eNVD system, you will be prompted to select the forms that you would like to include as part of your consignment. The forms that are visible to you are based on your accreditation.

Increasingly, producers are using eNVD because it is:

Yes, draft consignments can be created up to 28 days in advance of the actual stock movement taking place.
Once you have submitted the consignment you will still be able to edit and update the:
If you made an error in any other section of the consignment, we recommend you duplicate the consignment, make the corrections, submit the new consignment and delete the old consignment.
You can edit any part of a consignment while it is still in draft in the eNVD system.
After you have submitted the consignment, you have seven (7) days after the entered movement date to update the:
“Draft” and “Submitted” eNVDs can be deleted, but after seven (7) days past the movement date, they're marked as “Completed” and cannot be deleted.
If you need to correct an error in a submitted consignment that isn’t able to be updated like the destination address, duplicate the consignment to create a draft form, amend it, submit the new consignment and delete the original.
For paper NVDs, make corrections on the hard copy and sign each correction.
If you finish or update an eNVD offline, there are four ways to ensure all the records are updated on all devices:
To pass the consignment information onto the receiver – also called the consignee – a destination PIC is needed for the eNVD system to know where the consignment is going.
For example, to find the PIC of a saleyard, use the PIC search within the eNVD program, or the PIC register search within the NLIS database. Alternately, call or email the saleyard to ask for the PIC. When a consignment has been created once, recent locations will be shown in the eNVD and you can save the consignment as a template if it is a frequent movement.
ISC has an eNVD how-to guide which outlines the steps in completing an eNVD. Otherwise, for more information or assistance contact ISC Customer Service on 1800 683 111.
ISC is constantly reviewing and upgrading features of the eNVD to make it even more user friendly. In addition, users can provide suggestions and feedback on using the eNVD by emailing envd@integritysystems.com.au.
Feature updates currently under investigation include:
Producers should communicate with their transporter and see if they are comfortable carrying a digital eNVD copy – this is a full copy of the consignment forms in PDF or similar – on their mobile device or in their truck. If not, then the best option is to print the eNVD and give them a printed copy to carry with them.
You also need to consider the people receiving it and whether they are set up to receive a digital copy. For example, if you are sending your livestock to an abattoir, you must be sure they are ready to receive that consignment electronically.
The eNVD needs to be completed by the driver before the transport begins and so if there is no connectivity at the yards, a printed copy will need to be used to capture the driver’s signature. The eNVD system allows producers to fill in as many details as they can in advance and then print/submit with the transporter section (Part B) left blank ready to be completed at the yards.
Digital eNVDs you create or receive are acceptable as a historical reference document when being audited so long as they are correct, complete and signed.
If you have printed an eNVD before completing it and have not updated the digital copy, then you need to keep the completed printed version. Otherwise it is acceptable to show an auditor eNVDs on your computer or mobile device during an audit.
Login via myMLA and access eNVD via your linked LPA account.The eNVD website is mobile-friendly which means the eNVD can be filled out on a smart phone.
Industry solution providers can be licensed by ISC to provide eNVDs from within their system. The following solution providers include eNVD in their software:
Solution providers wanting further details should contact ISC via envd@integritysystems.com.au
While ISC recommends using Google Chrome to access the eNVD, its mobile features are supported on Internet Explorer 11+, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari.
The Goat NVD has been updated to remove reference to harvested rangeland goats and tag free movements.
The old goat NVD with version number G0720 is invalid from 1 July 2025 and has been replaced by version G0524.

NVD books are still available, however we suggest using eNVDs because they offer additional functionality and ensure livestock consignment data is captured digitally through the supply chain. This creates greater supply chain efficiency and ensures more correct information is captured.
