About ASAV

The Australian Small Animal Veterinarians (ASAV) is the largest special interest group within the AVA and represents the members with interests in small animal veterinary practice.

In 2026 we’re celebrating our 51^st conference!

The ASAV provides leadership and direction in promoting the advancement of small animal veterinary clinical skills and knowledge to our members. To achieve this, we promote the “career partner” concept (CPD for your veterinary lifetime), actively engage in advocacy and policy development and deliver high quality continuing education in a variety of suitable and appropriate formats, to members, and create and maintain a friendly, collegiate and inclusive culture with all our activities and events.
