Emergency Vet

The Animal Referral & Emergency Network is an Australian network of veterinary hospitals and clinics providing urgent care and specialist services for pets. With locations across several states and territories, the network helps owners find a nearby facility for emergencies, critical care and veterinary referrals. Many centres operate around the clock, including 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, while some provide after-hours or urgent care tailored to pets that need prompt attention but not a full emergency hospital.

Services vary by location and include emergency and critical care, surgery, internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, oncology, neurology, cardiology, dermatology, pathology, anaesthesia, rehabilitation and veterinary dentistry. The network also offers Webvet, a 24/7 video-call veterinary advice service, and a blood donor program. For veterinarians and nurses, it provides referral support, professional resources, webinars, articles and career opportunities. The network’s hospitals and specialist centres aim to connect pet owners and referring veterinary teams with timely, coordinated care.
