VIC Submission into Proposed changes to Vet Board regulatory fees 2023-24

The Victorian Division of AVA has provided the Veterinary Practitioners Registration Board of Victoria (Vetboard) with a submission in response to the change in veterinary registration fees.

In this submission we consider:

• The financial pressures on veterinary practice boards and discuss mechanisms for improved efficiency and potential further cooperation at a national level through the AVBC
• The funding of veterinary regulation and who benefits, recognising that there are significant public benefits
• The impact of increased costs on a sector that is already under considerable financial strain
• The impact on the consumption of animal health services
