Strategic plan 2024-27

The Board's strategic plan for 2024-27 was developed after consultations with veterinarians, pet owners, paraprofessionals, and members of the Victorian community into the provision of quality veterinary care across Victoria (Report: 2023 Veterinary Board Forums and Survey). A companion document to this plan is our Compliance and Enforcement Policy 2024-27, a risk-based approach to ensuring registered veterinary practitioners comply with legal requirements and other obligations. 

In December 2025, the Board revised the strategic plan to reflect progress to date, emerging organisational priorities, stakeholder input and current operating conditions. The aim is to make the most impact though optimising our resources, including using AI responsibly. Our revised priorities are to update and modernise our guidelines and website, pursue law reform, and improve responsiveness to and collaboration with stakeholders. Revised performance measures focus on measuring success and data relevant to the strategy.
