Honorary registration

A person who has Full Registration or who is eligible for Full Registration in NSW may be granted Honorary Registration in NSW by the Board if the person:
- Has been a member of the veterinary profession for not less than 40 years
- Has been a member of the veterinary profession of long standing and is of or above the age of 65 years
- The person’s standing in the profession is such to justify the granting of Honorary Registration
Honorary Registration is the same as Full Registration except no annual registration fee is required
A person with Honorary Registration in NSW who does not wish to practise veterinary science may submit an Non-Practising Conditions Declaration to enable on-going registration without the need to complete Continuing Professional Development requirements
If you are granted Honorary Registration, after the meeting of the Board:
- You will be sent a letter of acknowledgement
- Your Honorary Registration will be published on our online Register
Registered veterinarians must notify the Board of any change to their name, address or contact details within 14 days of the change
The Board has a policy in relation to Honorary Registration which can be viewed in our Policy section
