We want to develop and advocate for good evidence-based policies that will provide the right number of veterinarians, with the right skills, in the right places, to meet Australia's need for veterinary services into the future. Some additional skills and experience that are useful include being a member of community organisations, being a member of other boards and committees, a commitment to animal health and welfare, and the ability to prepare reports for the AVA Board. The AVA has been working closely with the Australian Department of Agriculture and human health groups to join this global campaign to promote responsible use of antibiotics. ./cache/cord-009594-0rfbmi0q.txt ./txt/cord-009594-0rfbmi0q.txt
