Torres Strait Islands trip
With AWLQ and Thursday Island Animal Support Group
Thursday Island Program: The program provides essential veterinary services to Indigenous communities in the Torres Strait Island. We work from a One Health-One Welfare perspective and aim to work with community to improve the health, well-being and safety of community and their companion animals. Volunteers will be assisting in an intensive desexing clinic in a registered field hospital located on Thursday Island. Volunteers will also engage with community members, discussing pet health care.
