ESSENTIAL EQUINE PROFESSIONALS UNDER CURRENT COVID RESTRICTIONS
STAGE 3 REGIONAL VICTORIA & STAGE 4 METROPOLITAN MELBOURNE
Equestrian Victoria is still awaiting formal government advice re travel and care for horses under COVID-19 Stage 3 and Stage 4 Restrictions. We will update our community as soon as that advice is formalised. In the meantime, please be aware of the following.
Vets and other equine services (e.g. farriers) are considered essential services for the welfare of the horse and are permitted, only where there is a genuine animal welfare issue.
Essential services/workplaces must ensure they meet their obligations as a Covid Safe Business and adhere to all government, social distancing and hygiene requirements.
Business and industry stage 4 restrictions
