Dear Colleagues,

AVA is communicating with relevant government departments to request that veterinary services are seen as critical services and advocating for timely access to Covid -19 testing of staff to minimize disruption of service. We need to communicate the current scale of COVID –19 impact on veterinary hospitals around Australia and to include specific examples in veterinary disciplines such as closure of emergency clinics or specific veterinary work or particular geographical regions that are being hit hard and the impact this is having on animal health and welfare.

We would appreciate it if you would complete a short survey ( 2-5 minutes)

Question Title

Question Title

* 2. Are you in an urban or rural/ regional area?

Question Title

* 3. How would you describe your practice?
