b) AQIS Accredited Veterinarian Program - The AAVet Program is an online training course for veterinarians who wish to be accredited by AQIS to undertake Approved Export Programs for livestock export.
The AAVet Program has been developed by AQIS in conjunction with Animal Health Australia. It aims to inform veterinarians about their legislative responsibilities as AQIS Accredited Vets for livestock export, and is designed to complement the Accreditation Program for Australian Veterinarians.
The course can be undertaken at your own pace with assessment by on-line quizzes. Altogether it should take approximately six hours to complete, however, times will vary depending on the your background and experience within the industry.
