Welcome to the School of Veterinary Medicine

Since the graduation of our inaugural class in 1979, our free-thinking, inclusive ethos has underpinned our mission: to promote and integrate the health, welfare and productivity of animals and people through partnership in education – empowering graduates’ lifelong professional success; research – engaging industry and government in impactful discovery and innovation, and; clinical service – advancing excellence in veterinary science through leadership in the community and the profession.

With integrity and excellence at the heart of our vision, our staff and students passionately promote the health, welfare and productivity of pets and animals, big and small. Our students also receive training in wildlife, exotic pet and conservation medicine.

Learn real-world skills in our state-of-the-art facilities that include veterinary teaching hospitals, clinics and a working farm all located on the Perth campus.

How the Vet School Celebrated Harmony Week

Harmony handprints craft

On 21st March, students and staff from the School of Veterinary Medicine came together to acknowledge Harmony Week with lunch, games and a Harmony Handprint exercise.

 Harmony Week is all about coming together and sharing the diverse culture that comes from all corners of the globe.

Our students and staff selected a paper hand, added details of their origins and heritage and a message of support for diverse cultures within our society. We heard about racism faced by Aboriginal people from our Waardong academic and reflected upon our own behaviours relating to racism and inclusion. And finally, we held the inaugural School of Veterinary Medicine Bingo Cup, which was won by a 4th year veterinary student. And the free lunch went down a treat!
