| Section 62(1) (e) of the Veterinary Practice Act 1997 states that one of the functions of the Veterinary Practitioners Registration Board of Victoria is "to issue guidelines about appropriate standards of veterinary practice and veterinary facilities." Registered veterinary practitioners should ensure they are familiar with the contents of the Guidelines which the Board considers to be the minimum acceptable standard expected from a registered veterinary practitioner exercising reasonable skill and care in the course of providing treatment to animals. All Guidelines should be read in conjunction with the Definitions page. The Guidelines are subject to ongoing review. Any new or revised Guidelines will be notified on the Latest News page. |
