Have Your Say – Help cut Red Tape impacting veterinary practice

The Queensland Small Business Commissioner (QSBC) is calling for examples of unnecessary red tape impacting small and family businesses—and this is a valuable opportunity for Queensland veterinarians to be heard.

Most veterinary practices are small to medium-sized independent businesses, and the AVA is aware of many situations where regulatory matters—particularly relating to the management of lost, stray or abandoned companion animals and injured or displaced wildlife—create significant challenges. These issues can result in financial strain, workforce stress, and mental health impacts for veterinary teams.

The AVA Advocacy team has already raised these concerns directly with the QSBC, and we strongly encourage members to contribute their own examples to help shape real, practical reforms.

More information, including a form for submitting examples can be found here.

Your voice strengthens our advocacy for a more supportive regulatory environment for veterinary professionals and the communities we serve.
