## Resource

Vet students in Australia are struggling to afford crucial rural placements, a major barrier to filling vital country veterinary roles. With over 40% of rural positions unfilled for over a year, the Australian Veterinary Association is urging the government to extend financial support like the Commonwealth Prac Payment to vet students. One student, Arran Hersburgh, credits a scholarship for shifting his career path to rural practice — proving that hands-on experience can transform aspirations. The push is on to make rural veterinary work more accessible and appealing, ensuring Australia’s countryside gets the vets it desperately needs.
