Recent changes to the NAIT system mean that farmers have to re-register. We know it is inconvenient to have to do this, but as M. Bovis has shown, it is really important to have up-to-date records to protect our sector.

We know there have been issues with using the NAIT helpline. Unsurprisingly, the helpline has had four times as many calls as usual as farmers re-register.

OSPRI, which administers NAIT, has assured us that it has increased staffing levels at the NAIT helpline with support from MPI. We will be following up to ensure that all options are taken to meet the increased demand on the call centre.

If you have reliable internet access, and have not re-registered, we encourage you to use the link: https://ospri.co.nz/nait-re-registration/
