PAV for Vets: Get paid for your veterinary expertise β€” anytime. PAV for VETs connects you with animal owners seeking advice. Accept cases on your schedule, consult via chat, voice or video, and issue prescriptions through a partnered pharmacy. Register at phoneavet.com.au and start earning for what you already do β€” giving great advice. PAV for VETs: Providing convenient veterinary advice when and where it's needed most. PAV for VETs is a smartphone app that connects animal owners with Australian-registered veterinarians for convenient, paid tele-consultations. It’s ideal for: - Veterinarians in practice who receive frequent calls for free advice. - Veterinarians not currently in practice who want to use their knowledge and experience on their own schedule. - Any veterinarian looking to supplement their income during quieter periods. Instead of giving free phone advice, now you can get paid for it. How it works: 1. Veterinarian Registration Veterinarians must first register via the Phone A Vet website at www.phoneavet.com.au, where the registration form and detailed information are available. 2. Animal Owner Search Animal owners β€” whether pet owners, farmers, or anyone with an animal-related question β€” use the app to browse profiles of available veterinarians. 3. Submit a Case Owners send a brief message describing the issue, and can upload photos, videos, and other relevant information. 4. Veterinarian Review & Acceptance Veterinarians online receive an alert, review the case (including the owner's star rating), and choose whether to accept it. 5. Live Consultation A 15- or 30-minute tele-consultation begins via in-app chat, voice, and video. The app supports two-way video using the front and rear cameras so veterinarians can see the animal and its environment in real-time. A visible timer counts down the session and automatically ends it when time is up. 6. Follow-Up Veterinarians can send a follow-up message via the app after the consultation to provide further advice or instructions.
