Community

The AVA is more than a professional body. It is a network of communities — local, national and discipline-specific — where veterinary professionals connect, contribute and belong. Explore what is available to you.

Special Interest Groups

Find your tribe: Your professional home within the profession. Special Interest Groups (SIGs) connect you with peers who share your clinical focus, deliver CPD built around your discipline and give you a collective voice on the issues that matter in your field. Every AVA member can join any SIG — no extra fees, no barriers.

AVA Divisions

Shape the profession in your state: AVA Divisions advocate for the profession at a state and territory level — shaping policy, influencing regulation and representing your interests in the decisions that directly affect how you practise. Find your Division and get involved.

AVA Branches

Connect with peers close to home: AVA Branches bring members together through CPD, social events, mentoring and peer support — run by volunteers who know your area and understand your working life. Find your Branch and connect with the people closest to you.

AVA Member Hub (Circle)

The whole profession, in one place: Find and connect with AVA members across Australia on the AVA Member Hub, (Circle). Search the member directory, join profession-wide discussions, share insights and stay connected with peers in your discipline and beyond — all in one place, any time.
