Why The Flying Vet TM

The far west falls short on many services that our city cousins take for granted. Access to veterinary assistance to the “back of Bourke” region has been non-existent, until now. Dr ameliah saw this shortfall from a young age. She has dedicated her life to building a mobile service for the region she grew up in and is so passionate about.

The aim of The Flying Vet TM is to provide veterinary assistance to all people (and animals) in the isolated regions of far west NSW, into eastern SA and the south-west corner of QLD.
