Practice owners

Our Centre for Professional Success gathers together all the information,  tools and programs you need to help put your business at the forefront of veterinary practice, while supporting your own success as a veterinarian and a leader.

Free manuals and tools help you manage risk, manage employees, and manage your business. Telephone helplines offer free advice on human resources, finance, accounting and superannuation.

AVA members receive a premium reduction for professional indemnity insurance provided through Guild Insurance. For business owners, the reduction is approximately 25%.

The Occupational Health and Safety Manual has been designed specifically for veterinary practices, and contains all you need to ensure a safe and productive workplace. This is complemented by the free comprehensive Human Resources Manual available to download for members only.

The special interest group, Australian Veterinary Association Practice Management, gives you the expert support you need to lead your business to success and veterinary excellence.

AVA accreditation programs recognise professional excellence in veterinary practice. These include the Hospital Accreditation Scheme, the New Graduate Friendly Practices program, the Accredited Microchip Centres program, and the National Cattle Pregnancy Diagnosis Scheme.

If you’re looking for a great way to be involved with your community, and to provide valuable experience and development for your staff, why not volunteer to teach about socially responsible pet ownership through the AVA PetPEP community education program?

You are also entitled to special offers on a range of products and services. These include discounts on health insurance, books from Wiley-Blackwell, Diners Club cards, new and hire cars, and Qantas Club memberships.
