Veterinary Students’ Association (UQ VSA)
UQ VSA
The UQ Veterinary Students’ Association (UQ VSA) is a pivotal organisation within the Veterinary School at the University of Queensland, Gatton Campus. Comprised of a dedicated executive team of eight members, the association serves as the primary representative body for the veterinary student community, advocating on their behalf and fostering a strong sense of unity and engagement.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
SIGs are student-run groups that host a variety of events throughout the year to give students extra hands-on experience and valuable knowledge in fields of interest. We currently have 7 active SIGs covering all topics from Alpaca to Zebra. SIG membership is the perfect companion to your formal university studies and compliment to your fields of interest.

Social Events
The UQ VSA hosts a range of social events throughout the year to help you unwind and relax. From Vet Ball through to our (slightly) less glamorous events such as ‘Smokos’ or FAC Day, you’re sure to find something that you will enjoy. All students are welcome to attend, and UQ VSA members receive discounted entry to ticketed events.
Peer Support Network (PSN)
PSN is a student-run initiative that aims to foster a supportive and healthy community, advocating for the welfare and mental well-being of all students to guide and aid them through difficult times and prepare them for the future.
PSN have weekly ‘drop-in’ sessions where you can just hang out & have a confidential chat with a trained mentor. Other PSN events include weekly ‘Yogitation’ and mental health talks throughout the year.
