Vets Benevolent Fund (VBF) FAQs
100% of the money donated will go to assist veterinarians impacted by adverse circumstances such as floods, fires, storms, personal tragedy etc. Where a donation is response to a disaster involving wildlife, they will go towards those treating injured animals including wildlife. This will help to cover the costs of drugs, materials and treatments, so that the veterinarians are not out-of-pocket and can continue to provide these important services in affected areas.
Anyone can apply for assistance and the VBF Trustees will make a decision based on available funds and resources.
The VBF will review ongoing cost-free counselling on a case by case basis cognisant of the funds available.
This will depend on how many applications for assistance we receive. We will endeavour to respond immediately in an emergency situation. It may take longer if there are many requests or group counselling is required.
