Veterinary Practices and Small Businesses
Show your business’ commitment to sustainability with AVEA
The health of animals, our environment and the industries that care for them are closely connected. Partnering with AVEA gives your business a practical way to invest in that shared future — alongside veterinary professionals, scientists and industry leaders working to make a difference.
Vets are uniquely positioned to make a difference. They rank among the five most trusted professions in Australia, and their work sits at the intersection of nearly everything these pressures touch: the 31.6 million pets in Australian homes, the livestock health underpinning $90 billion in agricultural production and exports, biosecurity, food security, wildlife and the eco-tourism it draws, public health, research and policy.
Sustainability isn’t just an obligation — it’s an opportunity to build stronger, more resilient veterinary practices. Reducing waste and energy use lowers costs; meaningful sustainability goals can help attract and retain staff; and visible action can strengthen relationships with clients and the wider community.
Through AVEA, connect with like-minded colleagures around Australia and through WVEA, around the world. Our programs are designed to help practices turn these opportunities into practical, achievable actions — and believe it or not, we try to have some fun along the way, too.

Healthy animals need a healthy environment. Join us to work towards sustainability goals like emissions and waste reduction through AVEA’s Climate Care, Sustainable Equine Futures and ZerOctober programs.
