To be eligible for registration as a veterinary surgeon in Tasmania, you must:
- be at least 18 years old
- be a fit and proper person to practice as a veterinary surgeon in Tasmania
- have completed an approved course of study and been admitted to an approved qualification.
If you have completed an approved course and are awaiting admission, you may be eligible for provisional registration as a veterinary surgeon. This registration will last until you either become fully registered, or six months have passed since your school’s next graduation ceremony for veterinary qualifications.
If you are registered as a veterinary surgeon in another Australian State or Territory and reside there permanently, you are entitled to practise as a veterinary surgeon in Tasmania on a part-time / casual / locum basis without having to register there. You must apply for registration as soon as you become a permanent Tasmanian resident.
