Sophie's Legacy Raise A Glass For Hope - Melbourne Gala, Oct 24, 2026 https://app.galabid.com/sophieslegacy/items Sophie was one of these statistics.

There is evidence that the veterinary industry is in a mental health crisis. In the past 30 years the risk of su***de in veterinary professionals has been reported to have steadily increased. A report published in 2008 reports that veterinarians are four times more likely to die by su***de than the general population. We want to reverse this trend. Help us save those who save our pets. The ā€œWeā€™re Only Humanā€ campaign asks pet and animal owners to take the pledge to be kind and respectful and to understand the massive pressures impacting veterinary staff. Take the pledge today: sophieslegacy.com/campaigns/only-human

What if the person caring for your pet is struggling themselves?

Veterinary professionals face emotional challenges that often go unseen. This World Mental Health Day, we're asking everyone to think about the person behind the scrubs.

Because sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference.

To every vet nurse we say, thank you šŸ™

Our Melbourne Gala got a mention on 7NEWS Melbourne last night, alongside an emotional story about the Tooronga Veterinary Hopsital thatā€™s opened in Hawthorn. This was a practice where Sophie planned to be a partner, before her passing. Weā€™re raising money for Sophieā€™s Legacy through the Gala on October 24 and have a limited number of tickets still up for grabs! Head to the link in bio and book a table for your nearest and dearest. Itā€™s a celebration of the veterinary profession and the wonderful people who save our animals šŸ«¶

The people who care for our animals deserve to be cared for too. Kate and Garry are excited to attend this yearā€™s Vetfordia Festival and will be chatting to as many people as they possibly can!

Itā€™s a space for vets, vet nurses, healthcare workers, pet owners, families, and the wider community to come together - not in a heavy way, but in a human way.

All proceeds go to Sophieā€™s Legacy šŸ™

This is something we are very proud of šŸ˜Œ Back in 2024 we gave a submission to the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into the veterinary workforce. As a result, the Veterinary Services Bill 2026 has been introduced to the NSW Parliament and mental health is central in every aspect of this Bill. Other key take-outs include:

āœ… The reforms are designed to address workforce issues.

āœ… The reforms aim to modernise the stateā€™s veterinary regulatory framework including the professional recognition of veterinary nurses and technicians.

āœ… The Bill acknowledges the important role of mobile vet clinics in regional NSW and sets up a regulatory process for the provision of telehealth services.

āœ… The Bill will establish a modern Veterinary Services Board with clearer powers to regulate the sector.

We will keep you updated on how this Bill progresses through the parliament.
