Help Government better understand and quantify the important contribution the veterinary sector makes to the treatment and rehabilitation of wildlife by participating in the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Survey of Veterinary Practitioners.

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) would like to invite veterinary staff who work with animals from NSW to participate in an online survey about their involvement with free-living native animals and the volunteer fauna rehabilitation sector.

The survey is intended to help Government better understand and quantify the important contribution the veterinary sector makes to the treatment and rehabilitation of wildlife and to seek their views about what works well and what could be done better. The outcomes of the survey will help Government improve the way it supports free-living native fauna rehabilitation in NSW.

The survey is intended for all veterinary staff who work with animals from NSW, including those who may have little or no involvement with free-living wildlife. The input of contributors will be confidential and the results will be aggregated.

The online survey is now open and can be accessed by clicking the link below:

The survey will close at 11pm, Sunday 23 April 2017.

Please note:  

• There is a section in the survey about ‘Your Veterinary Practice’.  Participants are asked to nominate one person to answer these questions on behalf of their practice. That person should be reasonably familiar with the services provided by the practice, the amount of free services and discounts provided and the type of animals coming into the practice.

• Each device (computer/phone/tablet) saves your survey answers, so participants can return at a later time to finish it. However, this means each participant will need to use a different device to complete the survey.

If you have any questions about the survey please email npws.bwt@environment.nsw.gov.au
