Applications for Assistance (Vet Clinic to Complete)
We can assist low-income pet owners with up to $1500 if they are declined VetPay. Our committee has strict criteria that we assess applications by including:
1. VetPay must be applied for. Please check this by logging into VetPay. Also sometimes applying for a smaller amount helps, so the owner can make a contribution to care.
3. The condition is causing pain, suffering and would otherwise result in euthanasia or surrender.
4. The condition is urgent and needs immediate care. For non-urgent conditions, the owner can apply for an interest-free loan instead through Care Community Loans Program, Good Shepherd or Centrelink.
5. The condition is something an average pet owner would treat.
6. The pet has a reasonable prognosis.
Please note that applications for assistance can't be made for treatments that have already been completed.
We will get back to you within 1-3 hours with an answer on this application. If you are not sure if a pet owner can be assisted by the charity or what other organisations can help, please read our FAQ's.
