In January 2014 the Hospital Inspector, Mr Glenn Lynch, completed the first phase of the Board's hospital inspection program. This involved inspections of over 630 licensed premises in NSW. Glenn has now commenced the next phase of the Board's inspection program which involves inspections of unlicensed premises. So, if you offer a mobile, on-site or house call veterinary service that is not based from a licensed hospital you can expect to receive a call from Glenn in the coming months. 
As per our hospital or licensed premises inspection program, these visits have an educational focus and the purpose is to ensure both compliance with the legislation and achievement of acceptable standards to meet the public interest. To assist providers of veterinary services from unlicensed premises in preparing for these inspections the Board has put together the attached self-assessment checklist.
