Tasmania

The Tasmanian Government has advised all pet owners to promptly re-register their pets' microchips with an alternative licensed microchip registry provider. This action is essential to ensure that, in the event your pet becomes lost, their microchip can be used effectively to reunite them with you.

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.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my fellow vets. May your festive period be filled with love and laughter, and not too many snake bites, intoxications, and unwell kitties. I would like to take the time to thank you all for your ongoing dedication to our profession.

Wow, what a month it has been. The Tassie conference was a big hit and attendance was terrific. I was incredibly proud to see everyone back together; catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. Our speakers were amazing, the trade exhibit was informative and fun, and the gala dinner was SUPER!! I would like to thank all the speakers for the effort they put into their presentations, the Tasmanian Division committee for their support and help, and the national AVA crew for all their hard work in pulling it together.
