Vet Care

General, Routine and Emergency Care

We understand how worrying it can be when your pet is unwell, and we are here to help where we can.

All vet requests must come through a social worker or case manager who can support you through the process. As a small team with limited resources, we’re unfortunately unable to provide direct case management or accept self-referrals.

Once a referral is received, our team will review the information and assess how we may be able to assist. Please scroll down to see who can submit a referral on your behalf.

Desexing

Our Fix-A-Friend program provides low-cost, subsidised desexing for eligible pet guardians a current pensioner concession or healthcare card. Clinics run throughout the year at participating veterinary clinics. Visit our Fix-A-Friend page for upcoming dates and locations.
