Find a registered veterinarian or veterinary premises

Veterinarian in the ACT

Caring for your pet's health is an important part of being a pet owner. It is your responsibility to ensure your pet is happy and healthy.

It is important to find a trusted and qualified registered vet to take care of your pet's health and to carry out microchipping and desexing, which are compulsory in the ACT.

In the ACT all vets must be registered to protect the health, safety and welfare of animals and people. This ensures vets are qualified and meet standards that protect animals and the community.

Find a registered veterinarian

All vets in Canberra must be registered by the ACT Veterinary Practitioners Board (or equivalent in another Australian state or territory).

If your veterinarian is not listed on the ACT register, they may be registered in another state or territory. Check the relevant board's website for more information.
