Reporting a dog attack, aggressive dog or animal concern
Knowing who to contact after a dog attack or animal-related incident can be confusing. Every local council has its own reporting process, contact details and online reporting options.
To make things easier, Pink for Leasy has compiled reporting information for councils across New South Wales in one place.
Our aim is to help you report concerns quickly, ensuring councils receive the information they need to investigate incidents, respond to community safety concerns and, where appropriate, help prevent future attacks.

Please Remember
If someone has been seriously injured, or there is an immediate risk to life or public safety:
Call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
Once everyone is safe, report the incident to your local council as soon as possible.
Pink for Leasy Tip
Not every report will result in immediate action, but every report helps build a clearer picture. Accurate reporting can provide valuable information that supports future investigations, identifies repeat concerns and contributes to safer communities for both people and companion animals.
Every Report Matters
Many serious dog attacks are preceded by warning signs. Reporting concerns helps councils identify risks, build a history of incidents and support safer communities. If you're unsure whether to report an incident, contact your local council for advice.
