To everyone with a passion for success and job satisfaction: join the Veterinary Business Group

Job success and satisfaction is more than a healthy patient. It's motivated capable people, up to the minute technology and dealing with engaged and inspired clients; it's management and systems which invest in all areas of your workplace – including you.

The Veterinary Business Group (VBG) is a strong and active platform for vets, nurses, practice managers, sales staff, academics, government vets and industry supply companies to come together and share ideas for our future. A specialist committee of the NZVA, VBG liaises with the wider veterinary industry to provide a voice for veterinary businesses in the establishment of any policy that will impact on the viability of practices.

You don't need to be a veterinarian to be a member. Membership is open to veterinarians and non-veterinarians – for example, practice managers and veterinary nurses.

VBG member benefits include:

• Up to date information through our regular newsletter VetBiz.
• Discounted continuing professional development for VetScholar online courses, workshops, events and conferences.
• A dedicated annual conference.
• Access to the new Benchmarking programme and Healthy Thinking programme.
• Professional business advice.
• Access to a dedicated online workspace - an online hub connecting members to each other.
• Discounted Healthy Practice® online service for business resources and support.
• Connection to colleagues nationwide and to the wider veterinary industry.
• Access to a wide range of useful business management resources.
