🌾 Happy National Agriculture Day! 🌾

Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of our farmers and the vital role agriculture plays in our lives.

From providing food to supporting local economies, the hard work and dedication of farmers are essential to our communities and the planet.

We also want to take a moment to thank the veterinary professionals who support our agricultural industry. Your expertise and commitment to animal health and welfare are crucial in ensuring the well-being of livestock, enhancing productivity, and promoting sustainable practices.

Thank you to all the vets and vet professionals for your dedication to our farmers and the environment! 🌱🐄

Join us in the comments today to celebrate the farmers who feed us and the vets who support them. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for agriculture!

Happy National Ag Day!

Today, we celebrate our farmers, and farming communities whose dedication feeds and clothes Australia and beyond. With agricultural exports reaching over $70 billion in 2023-24, their contribution is invaluable.

In the face of climate change, our farmers continue to adapt with resilience and innovation—producing healthy food, conserving biodiversity, and reducing emissions. Check out our friends at for Climate Action who have over 8,300 farmer members and 80,000 community members championing climate-smart farming solutions and strong economy-wide climate policy.

Of course, vets and the veterinary profession play a key role too! Healthy, well-managed animals contribute to lower emissions and high-quality produce.

Vets for Climate Action is playing our part through our Rural and Regional Program which engages with, and educates rural & regional practitioners on the impacts of climate change on animal health and veterinary practice, provides practical tools for sustainability in veterinary practice, and empowers vets to act as climate champions in their communities and networks.

Let’s work together for a sustainable future!

2. Take them to a Return Point - NSW currently has over 600 Return and Earn return points. There are different types of return points and the best one for you could depend on how many bottles, cans and cartons you are returning and how you would like to receive your refund.

‼️Bureau of Meteorology issues heatwave warning for Queensland, and the Northern Territory.

🥵A fresh heatwave warning has been issued for vast stretches of Queensland and the Northern Territory, with the north of Australia tipped to be “one of the hottest places in the world” this week.

🥵For Queensland, the dangerous heat is forecast to stretch from Toowoomba in the south and Birdsville in the western outback through to Weipa and Thursday Island in the far north, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

🗣️ “The heat will peak on Wednesday and Thursday with temperatures in the low to mid forties, with overnight minimum temperatures in the mid to high twenties,” the Bureau states.

🏡Keep your pets inside your home - do not walk your pets during extreme heat events
💧Ensure pets have fresh, cool water
📌If you think your pet is suffering from heatstroke, do not wait - seek professional advice from your vet immediately.

🦅 🦎Please leave out some fresh, shaded water for wildlife - both ground dwelling and birds.

🐾 Keep safe

Today is ONE HEALTH DAY

What is ONE HEALTH DAY you ask..?

"One Health Day answers the urgent need for a One Health trans-disciplinary approach towards solving today’s critical global health challenges."

"It is a timely initiative that gives scientists and advocates a powerful voice for moving beyond current provincial approaches to emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, climate change, environmental pollution, and many other problems, to a holistic default way of doing business."

We sincerely thank you all for supporting VfCA, and remind everyone today that our Climate Care Program is the perfect opportunity for veterinary practices to work towards a world where humans and animals thrive in a healthy climate.
