AVA President's Column

As 2025 draws to a close, I invite our members to reflect on the year that was, the profession we share and the people who continue to shape our future. We always knew it wasn’t going to be a “normal” year for the AVA.

AVA President Dr Gemma Chuck shares an update on the Constitution Vote, public awareness campaigns, a CPD gift for our members and more.

Dr Chuck provides details on an important milestone with the Stage 3 Constitution proposal, a recent Council of Presidents ‘Vetogether’, and an update on external activities.

In this month’s message, Dr Chuck highlights Government engagement, AVA Constitution reform and celebrating our Special Interest Groups. 

In Dr Gemma Chuck’s July update, she shares updates on her recent visit to Washington D.C., the AVA Transition Project, the recent Hendra virus outbreak in Queensland and a reminder about member renewals.
