Our CPD program planning begins up to two years in advance to ensure it includes veterinary science and business training that is interesting, relevant and accessible, so that we maintain a highly skilled veterinary workforce.
Looking ahead we will embrace new technologies to proactively assist our members with more flexible and appropriate learning outcomes.
AVA PresidentDr Paula Parker

As the largest conference in our region, the conference is years in the planning to give you the very best education, the latest trends, controversies, ideas AND the very best of a rocking good time while you are at it.

The richness and diversity of the program reflects our organisation and our profession. Regardless of your area of interest, I know that you will learn something, be challenged and be given a whole new perspective. With 8 streams throughout the week, planning your conference can require a military like precision.
