FAQ
FAQ
Do I also need Farm Vet Registration?
No. Farm Vet Registration is already included in this package, including your agreed RMP veterinary contact and access to our commercial poultry product range.
What happens during the annual visit?
We review the areas most relevant to your farm. These may include flock health, production concerns, husbandry, biosecurity, vaccination and parasite management. We’ll discuss your priorities and agree on practical next steps.
The visit is a veterinary review. It is not an RMP audit or verification service.
How long is the visit?
The package includes one visit of up to two hours at a farm site chosen by your business. If further time is needed, we’ll discuss this with you. Additional time is charged at the package’s routine hourly rate.
Is travel included?
No. Travel is charged separately and agreed before the visit is booked.
What does the follow-up allowance cover?
You have up to 30 minutes in total by phone or email to clarify recommendations from the annual visit. New health problems, additional investigations and further consultancy are charged separately.
Are prescriptions and vaccine authorisations included?
The fees for preparing prescription and vaccine authorisation documents are included throughout the service year, where clinically appropriate. Medicines and vaccines are additional charges.
The package does not guarantee authorisation of a particular product. Further veterinary assessment may be needed and is charged separately.
Can I call whenever a problem comes up?
You have an established veterinary contact and priority booking access. Clinical consultations outside the included visit follow-up are charged separately. Contact is during normal business hours, and response times depend on urgency and availability.
What if I’m already registered under the $360 option?
If we agree to an upgrade during your current service year, your registration fee will be credited against this package’s price. Your original renewal date remains, so the annual visit must be arranged within the remaining service year.
What if I don’t use the visit or follow-up time?
Included visits and follow-up time must be used within the service year. They do not carry forward, and unused services are not refunded. Please contact us early to arrange your visit.
What if our business operates more than one farm site?
The annual package covers your business. One visit of up to two hours is included at a farm site of your choice. It does not include a visit to every site. Additional site visits and travel are charged separately. Please include all sites in your registration.
