COVID-19 (coronavirus) advice: latest information
The health and wellbeing of our staff, students and clients is UQ VETS’ first priority.
As a precautionary response to slow the rate of community transition of COVID-19 and to continue servicing the community, we have made a decision to put several precautionary measures in place at the UQ VETS hospitals.
Our UQ VETS teams are focused on continuing to provide veterinary and specialist care to all our clients and their animals.
We are working as quickly as possible to respond to the situation as it evolves, and to plan for further developments.

These precautionary measures are in effect as of March 20.
We continue to take the latest advice from the state and federal governments and their medical advisers.
