Join us for the 3rd annual edition of Flynn's Walk in 2024, starting and finishing at New Farm Park (next to Brisbane Powerhouse). We're walking and talking to support veterinary well-being - come for the walk, stay for the conversation. Veterinarians and other veterinary staff face many challenges in their line of work. We hope to build more compassion and understanding in the wider community and show support for the people who care for our pets.
