GET IN QUICK - Short Courses that Give Back!
For every short course sold before January 25, 2026, the Australian College of Veterinary Nursing (ACVN) will donate $50 to Sophie's Legacy.
There's never been a better time to upskill…
We have a new partnership!
Buddy Pet Insurance is committed to giving $1 million in support to Australia’s animal welfare community through its Giving Program.
Launched in 2025, the program supports organisations that improve animal welfare, prioritise veterinary wellbeing, and advance research in pet care.
From backing wildlife rescue and deploying trained vets to under-resourced areas to funding education and conservation efforts, Buddy partners with trusted charities and organisations to help create lasting change.
Their list now includes us – Sophie's Legacy – and we are very grateful.
They have a simple goal to support the animals they love and the people who care for them. As you can see, our goals are very aligned.
Support from Greencross and the Petbarn Foundation
We are incredibly excited to announce that Greencross Vets have partnered with the Petbarn Foundation to support us via the sale of some seriously cute hedgehogs and terrifically handy tote bags.
The merchandise will be sold through Greencross Vet clinics in 2025, with all profits going directly to Sophie’s Legacy.
Established in 2012, the Petbarn Foundation has donated over $30m to help animal welfare groups and rescue organisations throughout Australia and continues to support thousands of pets, animals and the people who love and care for them every day.
More than $35,000 has been donated directly to Sophie's Legacy by the Petbarn Foundation, helping us to continue raising awareness of the issues veterinarian staff face.
We are so grateful for this joint gesture and the core messaging that’s accompanying it; to treat veterinary staff with kindness and respect every time you visit.
Powerful Posters and Submissions to Parliament
In June 2024, we launched our Lost Campaign, inviting you to sign our petition so we could lobby for government policy and industry change to provide more mental health support for vet professionals.
Our ambition was to get 10,000 signatures across six months. We had over 11,000 within three.
We are grateful for your support and indebted to the wonderful volunteers across the country who handed out Lost flyers to individuals, libraries, shopping centres and community venues to help spread the word.
Thanks also to Showpony, who designed the flyer and Lost video, for their creative vision and helping to ensure the campaign was seen across multiple platforms nationwide, including the back of buses, in shelters, and across billboards.
Lost posters are still available for download. And the petition remains open. Because the more support we have, the louder our message will be.

We continue to receive wonderful feedback on the impact of our We’re Only Human posters. Stories of improved respect towards vet staff and tales of treats and thanks too. You can still grab one of these as well.
