About The AVE
What is the AVE
The Australasian Veterinary Examination (AVE) is a test designed to evaluate the veterinary knowledge and clinical skills of veterinarians who have been trained internationally and wish to practice in Australia or New Zealand.
It's used for registration purposes, helping these veterinarians demonstrate their expertise and competencies to become registered, migrate, and establish their professional careers within the veterinary field in the Australasian region.
Once you clear this exam you can apply for a job, earn well, and get PR Visa.
AVE Exam Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible to write the AVE Exam, a Veterinarian must have the following:
- Bachelor of Veterinary Sciences (B.V.Sc) or diploma
- Active registration with the state Veterinary council in your home country as a practising veterinarian.
- Proof of English language proficiency
Procedure for AVE
- Eligibility Assessment
To initiate the process, it's necessary to confirm if you have a relevant veterinary degree/diploma that meets the standards and have registered as a veterinarian in your home country.
Successfully passing this eligibility assessment opens the door to progress to subsequent stages, which involve evaluations and examinations, ultimately paving the route for pursuing a licensed veterinary career in Australia or New Zealand.
2. Preliminary Examination
In this step, you will undertake the Preliminary Examination, a test comprising multiple-choice questions (MCQs) that assess your foundational veterinary knowledge.
Successfully clearing this MCQ exam demonstrates your grasp of essential concepts. A positive outcome here marks your readiness to advance to the subsequent phase of the process.
3. Clinical Examination
Step 3 brings the Final Examination into focus, a comprehensive assessment evaluating both clinical expertise and knowledge. Success demands proficiency in all segments of this examination. Once you meet this criterion, you will be eligible for a licence and to practice in Australia.
Exam Format
The Australasian Veterinary Examination (AVE) consists of a Preliminary (MCQ) Examination and a Final (Clinical) Examination.
Preliminary (MCQ) Examination
The intention behind the Preliminary (MCQ) Examination is to evaluate your broad understanding of veterinary science and how effectively you can put that understanding into practise within the context of veterinary work in Australia and New Zealand. This exam is divided into two sections:
Paper 1: Base knowledge (general knowledge of veterinary science)
Paper 2: Clinical reasoning (ability to apply specific knowledge, clinical judgement)
The examination is computer-based and is conducted in April every year.
Clinical Examination
The final step in this process is the last exam, the Final (Clinical) Examination. This takes place over five days at an Australian vet school, currently at the University of Queensland. Usually, it's held in November.
In this evaluation, your practical skills are considered, like handling animals and basic surgery techniques. While knowing specific facts is important, the exam mainly looks at how well you handle situations like those you’d face in real vet practise.
