“The Veterinary Council supports and works alongside the AVPRC. Both of our organisations believe that New Zealand is better off when veterinarians and allied veterinary professionals work together. We also believe that legal recognition and regulation of allied professionals will enable the full adoption of multi-disciplinary veterinary teams, which will lead to better outcomes for animals, the public and veterinary professionals.”
