The AVA welcomes the Tasmanian Government’s request for information around mechanisms to support Tasmanian veterinarians, acknowledging the significant challenges being faced by Tasmanian veterinary hospitals.

It is with disappointment that the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) has removed support for the Tasmanian Strategy for Wildlife, effective 4th May 2023.

The Tasmanian Division of the Australian Veterinary Association has commended the Tasmanian Government on the scholarship initiative to boost the allied health workforce and requested that veterinarians be included in this investment.
