Stop the closure of U-Vet
The University of Melbourne is planning on closing down U-Vet in December and if we’re going to save our valued animal hospital, we need to act fast.
U-Vet is the only veterinary teaching hospital in Victoria, where students can gain hands on experience providing veterinary care to animals of all shapes and sizes. It’s ongoing operation is absolutely critical in training the quality vets we need for the future.
The U–Vet Animal Hospital also provides a full range of veterinary services to thousands of pets in our local community every year. U-Vet is vital in protecting our pets health.
The closure of U-Vet will result in the job losses of over 100 highly skilled veterinary staff which provide 80 specialist skills not available anywhere else in Victoria. We need U-Vet to continue providing this important services for all animals across the state.
What you can do
We’re calling on the Victorian State Government and Federal Government to intervene to stop the closure of this important facility. We need our local State MP and Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas to help.
