Major changes to vet nurse use of x-ray

05 Sep 2024

The SA Environmental Protection Agency has recently announced that veterinary nurses and technicians will now be eligible to apply for x-ray licences.

The changes were announced in a memo release by the EPA to key stakeholders of veterinary services.

The AVA has been advocating in South Australia for nurses and technicians to be able to be licenced for x-ray use for a number of years and is pleased to see the EPA making this important change.
