Address / Employer Changes
The Public Register of Veterinarians
Under the Veterinarians Act 2005 the Register of Veterinarians is a public document. As such the following information about veterinarians is available publicly:
- name, qualifications and registration status
- details of any conditions on practice arising from competence, health or disciplinary considerations
- whether the veterinarian is suspended and why
The outcome of disciplinary proceedings is also available publicly, as long as the veterinarian has not been granted name suppression.
Veterinarians' contact details (address, practice, phone, fax, and e-mail address) are not published in the register unless the practitioner has agreed to this.
The Register of Veterinarians can be accessed from this website.
Name, Address or Practice Changes
The Veterinarians Act requires that veterinarians notify the Council within one month if they change their name, address details or employer/practice name.
This can be done by by letter, facsimile or e-mail to:
