Building strong, sustainable careers in the veterinary field requires intentional effort and support at every stage of the journey. That’s why Guild is proud to sponsor the 2026 AVA Student Volunteer Program, which helps bring the next generation of veterinarians to the heart of the profession’s most important events.

The AVA conference calendar brings professionals together to learn, connect, and advance the field. Through the volunteer program, students gain firsthand experience in this environment, contributing to the success of these events while fostering relationships that will shape their careers.

For many volunteers, this is their first significant exposure to the veterinary profession beyond the university classroom. It’s where theory meets practice and small experiences begin to define future pathways. We’re excited to support their involvement and help them gain the experience and confidence they need for what’s next in their careers.

Student volunteers are essential to the success of these events, as seen at the recent 2026 AVA National Conference. Their professionalism and drive help keep everything running smoothly, while reinforcing the collaborative culture that defines the veterinary community. We’re honoured that our sponsorship is helping to strengthen the profession as a whole, supporting its sustainability by investing in the individuals who make it thrive.

We believe supporting veterinary professionals goes beyond insurance. It involves backing the people behind the profession, early in their careers and every step after. Sponsoring the AVA Student Volunteer Program is a natural extension of that commitment.

Whether you’re just starting out or well established in your practice, Guild is here to support you at every stage. Contact Guild today on 1300 810 213 or visit guildne.ws/AVAmember.
