ACT Division Committee Member, Dr Eloise Bright and her colleagues were recently featured on The Project.

We are pleased to inform members of the results of the recent Division Elections for the AVA ACT Division Committee.

Over the past few years, the AVA has been advocating on several concerns with the ACT Medicines, Poisons, and Therapeutic Goods (MPTG) legislation and regulation.

The AVA has prepared a pre-budget submission for the 2024-25 ACT Government budget. The AVA submission makes six recommendations to the ACT Government to support ACT veterinarians.

Even though it’s 4 to 5 weeks late – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope you had a safe and happy time, and a restful one for those who were on (or are on) leave. For those who have been working in practice– it’s been silly season- busy (what’s new!) and I hope you and all your colleagues have kept well (physically and mentally).
