During the COVID-19 pandemic, UQ VETS will continue to provide veterinary and specialist support to our referring veterinarians.
To help us continue servicing the community and to reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure we will only be accepting emergency and urgent cases. If at any point you are uncertain whether a case can be referred please call us and our team will help triage the patient and walk you through the available options.
Our team is available to take calls to discuss your cases and we encourage you to enquire about this option.
