City-Bay Champions
It was a wet one today, and Sophie's Crew proved they will show up and support, rain, hail or shine.
They well and truly earned their free sausage.
Hope to see even more of you in 2026!
Calling on Veterinarians for Important Research
We are very supportive of any work that aims to help prevent suicide among veterinarians.
Sophie’s Dad, Garry, has been part of the lived experience advisory group for Queensland veterinarian, Dr Alena Gadoury, regarding her vital PhD research on suicide prevention.
Alena is inviting all registered veterinarians across Australia to take part in her anonymous survey, which seeks to understand the extent of suicidality in the veterinary profession and what factors may contribute to it. It takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
This research has been approved by Griffith University’s Human Research Ethics Committee (GU ref no: 2025/045) and aims to inform future suicide prevention strategies via some actionable insights.
Your contribution to this research is a meaningful step towards helping to prevent suicide and save lives.
Short Courses that Give Back!
We're excited to have the Australian College of Veterinary Nursing (ACVN) support our charity and empower veterinary nurses at the same time.
For every short course sold between August 4, 2025, and January 25, 2026, ACVN will donate $50 to Sophie's Legacy.
The goal is to raise $25k in 25 weeks.
There's never been a better time to upskill…
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 $27m 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.
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.
