- Providing veterinary leadership by initiating and developing strategic initiatives within the deer industry.
- Offering a source of independent expert technical advice to deer industry partners and the New Zealand Veterinary Association, private and governmental agencies.
- Enhancing the New Zealand deer industry's quality assurance culture by developing and contributing to industry schemes and veterinary professional activity.
- Supporting research activities within the deer industry.
