AVA Member Updates

As we race towards the end of the year, it is a time to reflect and consider achievements and opportunities as well as recognise where changes can be made for the next year. I hope that you have had a fulfilling 2024, achieved some goals, made some connections and enjoyed a break with friends or family.

Can you believe it’s December already? And with students having completed their academic year, the graduates are heading into their first jobs, joining our workforce and profession.

The AVA lodged a submission to the recent NSW Legislative Council's Inquiry into the Management of Cat Populations.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my fellow vets. May your festive period be filled with love and laughter, and not too many snake bites, intoxications, and unwell kitties. I would like to take the time to thank you all for your ongoing dedication to our profession.

We are pleased to share an update on our ongoing efforts to better understand and support the needs of our members and the broader veterinary profession.
