AVBC assesses qualifications and skills for migrating veterinarians under the skilled migration category.
The Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC) ensures high standards across veterinary practice in Australia and New Zealand. They handle the accreditation of vet schools, hold exams for overseas vets, and assess qualifications for both migration and specialist certification. This helps protect animal health and safety by guaranteeing that veterinarians are well-trained and qualified.
If you're a veterinarian planning to migrate to Australia under a points-tested skilled migration category, the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC) is the sole specified assessing authority for the occupation "Veterinarian" (ANZSCO Code 234711) according to the Migration Regulations 1994.
To apply for a Skills Assessment with AVBC, you must:
Hold FULL registration (without conditions) with an Australian Veterinary Registration Board.
Satisfy AVBC's English Language Standards.
Veterinary Nurses seeking a skills assessment should contact VETASSESS for further assistance.
