I live in Tasmania, Australia and was just wondering a bit about becoming an equine vet. Also will i have to travel to the mainland Australia to do the vet education?

I live in Melbourne and a friend of mine is doing Veterinary Science.
Melbourne Uni has Vet courses. It is something you simply have to research yourself on google and calling different places and speaking to different people.

Why don’t you google vet courses at Uni’s in Tassie and if you can’t find any try Melbourne. If you’re still at High School speak to your careers teacher as you will also need the right enter score.

There is a lot of research to be done and I don’t think you will find your answer on here.

It is a lot of hard work – you don’t study to be an Equine Vet, you become a normal vet and can then specialise in horses. It can also be emotionally challenging as you will have to euthanase many animals, whether they be sick or the owner simply doesn’t want them anymore. It is long hours, a lot of travel.

If you like working and studying hard, then go for it.
