Prelude to Success
In 1982 a group of 5 veterinarians established the vision to expand the veterinary industry by reclaiming proceeds generated by the profession back into the profession.To pursue the further expansion of the veterinary profession the Provet Group contributes to the veterinary industry through support and sponsorship of various associations including the Australian and New Zealand Veterinary Association and their special interest groups.
We are proud of our investment and support of the Equine Veterinary Association (EVA) both as Platinum Sponsors of the Annual Bain Fallon Conference and Education Partners of the EVA. We also support many national and state education initiatives including the Veterinary Science Foundation, Australian Small Animal Association as Gold Sponsor, AVPMA and AVBA Education Partners, University of Continuing Education and Veterinary Nurse Association.
The Provet Group continue to invest and support the Veterinary Profession and build a valuable legacy for future growth and development of the Animal Health Industry in Australasia.
Provet is now an organisation, with over 350 employees, that approaches $A300million in sales and has the supplier relationships to ensure that our partners are able to access the best value and support from our supplers. With 10 warehouses strategically located across Australia and 3 in New Zealand, Provet provides further reach across Australiasia than ever envisioned by the original 5 veterinarians.
