The challenges facing New Zealand’s animal health sector threaten not just the veterinary profession, but the country’s overall health and economic wellbeing. These challenges include staffing and training for the future, workplace wellbeing, and the need for stronger industry support for veterinary nurses. The Taking Animal Health Forward whitepaper contains recommendations for addressing these challenges to create a more sustainable future.

Building a brighter future for New Zealand animal health practitioners will take co-operation and effort. We can’t solve the challenges alone, but if we all work together, we can lay the foundations for a thriving and sustainable animal health sector that can benefit all New Zealanders for generations to come.
