TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

VBB established VetMatch (incoorporating its Community Awareness program) to provide animal welfare organisations with skilled volunteers to assist with their valuable clinical and community work.

  3. An organisation may be removed from the VMPO register if:

a .it fails to advise VBB of any relevant changes to its status; or if it is subsequently found to fail to meet the requirements of VMPO registration; or
