A significant surgical procedure is a term used in the Animal Welfare Act 1999. You can find the definition of this term in the Act, but the section that defined it has been repealed. This means the definition is no longer part of the law, and it was removed by section 9 of the Animal Welfare Amendment Act (No 2) 2015, which you can read more about on the legislation website.
