Murdoch University Veterinary Trust

The Murdoch University Veterinary Trust was established in 1996 and was launched by well-known author Sara Henderson. The Trust was developed to service the increasing needs of funding for the School's important and growing work.

Along with the training of undergraduate students in Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, the School is heavily involved with research into animal and human diseases, and in the training of specialist veterinarians in their fields of choice. The School has a Veterinary Hospital: one of the best equipped in the country, which employs staff in all areas of expertise including small animal medicine and surgery, small animal emergency medicine, equine medicine and surgery, and production animal medicine and surgery. In order to fund the non-teaching work of the School, we rely on the ongoing financial support of our Industry colleagues, and members of the public. Ongoing support is vital, and allows Murdoch to lead the way, and provide “International excellence in Veterinary Science”.

Since its launch, the Trust has made a significant contribution to the advancement of Australian veterinary science and education. The Veterinary Trust is a registered 'Deductible Gift Recipient', and as such, is eligible to receive income from 'Prescribed Personal Funds'. Contributions to the Veterinary Trust are tax deductible, and may be used for varied purposes, such as equipment purchase, facility upgrading, scholarships, or research funding.  For more information on being involved with the trust see "Help the Trust".
