A mixed-animal veterinarian with 15 years’ experience in regional clinical practice, Ms Dickinson founded Veterinary Support Services (VSS) in 2022 to address the lack of structured post-graduate support available to early-career veterinarians entering rural practice. In 2024, VSS secured funding to pilot the Victorian Livestock Veterinary Scholarship program across eight regional clinics. The two-year structured clinical supervision and training program provides early-career veterinarians with on-farm practical training, monthly education sessions, professional networking and wellbeing support.
