The AVA has provided a pre-budget submission for the 2025-26 NSW Government budget. The AVA makes 13 recommendations to the NSW Government to support NSW veterinarians.

This week Dr Michael Ferguson welcomed Minister for Agriculture and Regional NSW Tara Moriarty to his veterinary clinic in Wauchope, NSW. It was a good opportunity to share with the Minister his experience of recruiting veterinary professionals to rural and regional NSW.

Following a successful seminar in May this year, members of the Mid North Coast Branch gathered again last month for a social event in Port Macquarie.

Last month, Veterinarians in the Central West AVA branch were fortunate to welcome Dr Isabelle Resch to Orange for an evening seminar on veterinary behaviour with a focus on treatment and management of cases.

A comprehensive article on preparing veterinary practices for natural emergencies was shared in last week’s national newsletter. This article provides a summary of this information, along with links to specific resources for your state. This article contains information about emergencies and disasters.
