VIC Victorian registration fee changes will go ahead despite opposition
06 Jun 2023Despite receiving 500 submissions equating to 12% of the Victorian veterinary profession, and also whilst recognising that the 15% increase in most fees and revocation of free honorary general registration is not supported by all members of the profession, the Board has decided to implement the changes to the Victorian Vet Board's fee structure as originally proposed.
Representing the veterinary profession, AVA Victorian Division met with the Veterinary Practitioners Board of Victoria and also provided a written submission, strongly disagreeing with the proposed changes and explaining the financial impact that it would have on veterinarians in Victoria, particularly in the current veterinary shortage crisis.
The AVA submission can be found here.
Please note that your veterinary registration in Victoria is required to be paid prior to June 30th to avoid an additional late fee.
