The Faculty has two departments. The Department of Veterinary Science is responsible for the teaching and research in the faculty.
The Department of Veterinary Clinic and Hospital is responsible for providing the environment for undergraduate and postgraduate students to receive clinical instruction and training or undertake research. It offers fee-based veterinary medical, surgical and pathological consultative services to the public including a 24-hour emergency service. Many animals are referred by other veterinary practices and institutions for specialist advice and assistance.
The Centre for Animal Biotechnology, established in 1990, is located at the Veterinary Preclinical Centre at the Western Precinct in Parkville. The Bio21 Institute which adjoins the Veterinary Science building at the Western Precinct was opened in 2005.
The Laboratory for Infectious Diseases (incorporating the Centre for Equine Virology established in 1993), is located at the Veterinary Preclinical Centre, Parkville.
The Australian Poultry co-operative Research Centre was established in 2003. The other core partners are the University of New England, Bioproperties Australia Pty Ltd and Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation.
There are three clinical centres:
The Western Animal Emergency Centre, established in 1992 as part of the Veterinary Clinic and Hospital at Werribee.
The Equine Centre, also at the Veterinary Clinic and Hospital, established in 2002.
The Mackinnon Project, established in 1983 to deal with the sheep and beef cattle industries.
