AVRA – Supporting Veterinary Receptionists.

The Australian Veterinary Receptionist Association (AVRA) is the professional body representing Veterinary Receptionists across Australia & New Zealand. Our mission is to raise the status and recognition of the veterinary receptionist role. We are committed to achieving this through the support, training, education and development of the reception role, along with the admin team as a whole.

AVRA strongly advocates the importance of the Veterinary Receptionist having adequate training and knowledge to ensure comfort and confidence when executing their role. Reception is the cornerstone of a clinic, managing the daily schedule of the practice, client relations and clinic reputation. Our goal is to demonstrate this importance to the wider veterinary industry in the hopes to improve the standards of welfare and communication within practice for both clients and colleagues.

Fantastic presentation that was taught with digestible information that proved functional to 'beginner' veterinary staff or as a conscious refresher to those with a basic understanding that breaks down the 'why' of dog behaviour making data and clinical information applicable and relevant to the industry and workplace.

Great foundation course!

- Alicia M. on AVRA Foundation Course

I’m quite new to the vet industry and was employed as a veterinary receptionist. Upon completing the course I felt like I gained the skills and knowledge to confidently perform certain tasks and duties in my role. It’s helped me to understand how important my role is in my practice and what qualities I can bring. I have found the reception reference guide to be super helpful and I can’t imagine going back to not having it at the desk with me. Thank you AVRA!
