  • Summary

  • Tonight I’m speaking with Dr Elaine Ong, Veterinarian and Founder of Vets for Compassion.

    Elaine has been the Principal surgeon and owner of the Balwyn Central Vet Hospital since 1995. She is the Founder of Vets For Compassion, a charity that sends vets and vet nurses to volunteer in underdeveloped countries in Asia. Teaching Vets to perform cat/dog birth control surgery, antirabies vaccinations and delivers animal welfare education. As well as being the Principal Trainer of the Train the Trainers Project in Asia.

    As you all know we recently took some really positive steps forward for wildlife in parliament. After I introduced a bill to establish a new authority for wildlife rescue, modelled off other emergency services, like the SES and CFA - the government came to the table and agreed to work with me to fix wildlife rescue in Victoria. This new authority we’ve named Wildlife Rescue Victoria couldn’t have happened without people like Elaine providing me with advice and information around the changes we need. As a vet on the front line of the Victorian Bushfires, Elaine shares her thoughts on this new model and how she believes it will benefit wildlife.
