Veterinary specialist registration

To register as a veterinary specialist, you must also be registered as a veterinary surgeon (in Queensland or elsewhere in Australia).

You must already be registered as a veterinary surgeon (in Queensland or elsewhere in Australia).

If you are applying for registration as a veterinary specialist for the first time, you must first apply to the Assessment Committee for the Registration of Veterinary Specialists (ACRVS) of the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council Inc (AVBC) for assessment of your specialist credentials.  Once this process is complete, the ACRVS will issue you a letter to accompany your application to the Board for specialist registration.

Complete the Online application form (choose "Register as a vet or specialist" and then choose the option that applies to you).

Fees are payable online using Visa or MasterCard.
