National Parks Board (NParks) / Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) regulates veterinarians and assesses complaints regarding professional conduct. 

The complainant should, where possible, attempt to resolve the issue directly with the veterinarian or the clinic’s veterinary manager. You can lodge a complaint with AVS if you have ascertained that the matter cannot be resolved or if direct resolution is not an appropriate course of action.  

The aim of investigating a veterinary complaint is to maintain appropriate standards for the profession and community. Valid complaints lodged will be thoroughly assessed and will take 22 weeks, or longer, for evaluation. 

Guidelines for lodging a complaint are available here. 

The veterinary treatment complaint form is available here. 

AVS-licensed veterinarians, or professionals who are employed in a pharmaceutical company (e.g. manufacturer, importer, wholesaler) dealing with medicines or vaccines used in animals should report adverse events.
