In a cost of living crisis, veterinary care has become unaffordable for too many families. I’ve fought to make veterinary care more accessible, particularly in regional Victoria, helping establish Victoria’s first dedicated not-for-profit veterinary clinic and leading debate on allowing electronic prescriptions into the veterinary sector. No one should ever have to choose between paying their rent and getting treatment for a beloved companion animal, and that’s why we need to go further. Veticare – our medicare-style healthcare system for animals and the people who care for them – must be a flagship cost of living priority, making vet care affordable and accessible for everyone.
