Australia Wide

DISA has curated this list of specialists to aid owners seeking urgent specialist care for their hounds. While we endeavour to maintain its accuracy, we also recommend checking online search engines for the most up-to-date information in your area.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Just as you need a doctor’s referral to consult a specialist, your veterinarian must request a referral for your pet to see a specialist. For details on the referral procedure, please contact the specialist directly or visit their website. Some referral hospitals have emergency centres associated with them.  If you have an emergency, make your way to the emergency centre, where they will be able to refer you to a specialist if required.
