This survey is hosted by a research group from the University of Sydney and they’re keen to find out:

1. The prevalence of burnout among Australian general practice and emergency veterinarians
2. What workplace factors or practices contribute the most to burnout

The survey hopes to contribute to the solution of building a sustainable profession by promoting tangible, evidence-based workplace changes.

We want everyone to be heard. So please, if you have a free 10 minutes, consider filling out this survey: https://redcap.sydney.edu.au/surveys/?s=A8KK4CYXWCKK7YM4

We also encourage you to share this survey with your peers.

If you have any questions pertaining to this survey, please feel free to contact:
