ABOUT THE
AUSTRALIAN VETERINARY ASSOCIATION


The Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) is the peak professional body representing veterinary professionals and students across Australia. For more than 100 years we have been the united voice of the veterinary profession.

Veterinarians are among Australia's most trusted and respected professionals, dedicated to safeguarding animal health and welfare and supporting the communities they live in.

Our vision is a thriving veterinary profession, and our purpose is to build a vibrant future for veterinary professionals.

At the AVA we champion the veterinary community, advance professional excellence, foster connectivity, and deliver exceptional member experiences to achieve our vision of a thriving profession.
 


 

The AVA recognises the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong (Boon Wurrung) peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to Elders of all First Nations communities.
