For every veterinary professional 

Flexible, re-imagined membership that supports connection and belonging.

 In June, we're launching a new, all-inclusive membership model - the biggest evolution of AVA membership in over a decade. 

 Designed using extensive member feedback, the new model provides simpler, more flexible, more affordable and more inclusive membership, delivering greater value for vets, veterinary teams and practice groups. 

 All memberships include free access to AVA's 19+ Special Interest Groups. Based on feedback from the profession, the new model makes it simpler for veternary professionals to stay connected and strengthen a sense of belonging, which sits at the heart of AVA. 

 As a not-for-profit organisation, every dollar of AVA membership is reinvested back into the profession. The new membership structure ensures that value is more accessible, more transparent, and better aligned to how veterinary professionals work today.
