Our profession
The "Our Profession" Strategic Priority includes 3 sub categories:
- Better Regulation
- Workforce
- Economic Sustainability
Our work in this area aims to ensure the long-term sustainability of veterinary services within Australia, in terms of workforce dynamics but also economic sustainability of the profession. Our current focus is on the workforce shortage issue, and ways to make long-term changes to improve this situation.
We work to ensure that legislation that impacts the veterinary profession is appropriate and best protects and serves veterinary professionals.
