ACCESS TO LOW-COST NON-URGENT VET CARE AVAILABLE TO CONCESSION CARD HOLDERS
For the past six years, the Spay It Forward program has focused on providing WA concession card holders with access to desexing and microchipping for companion animals. Now, we have a pilot project to explore if we can help people and their pets with non-urgent care.
We are so grateful to have partnered with Veterinary and Community Care to help make vet care more accessible to struggling families in the Perth metro and surrounds. Without VaCC, this wouldn't be possible! 🌟
❓️WHAT IS NON-URGENT?
☑️ Lumps and bumps you're worried about
☑️ Does your pet have dental issues?
☑️ Has your cat got a cat-fight abscess?
☑️ Does your pet have smelly or mucky ears?
We can help with so much more! Please just let us know what is worrying you and what the issue is🙏
❓️DO I QUALIFY?
We'd love to help you and your pet, but to access our financial assistance, you must
1. Be over 18 years of age,
2. Be a WA resident,
3. Be a concession card holder, and
4. Be experiencing SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL hardship
❓️HOW DO I APPLY TO GET HELP?
Please fill out our online application here to tell us about you, your pet, and why you need to see the vet:

❓️WHAT IS A PILOT PROJECT?
We aim to offer non-urgent veterinary care visits, BUT there needs to be a significant need before sending anyone to the vet.
Meaning, that the more applications we get = the more likely we can run this program on an ongoing basis.
