Benchmarking surveys
The Veterinary Business Community (VBC) of the NZVA has partnered with BBVet to run a series of surveys tailored to the New Zealand veterinary profession. We know members need access to high quality benchmarking data and this project contributes directly to supporting your businesses. Having quality, reliable data will quite simply drive better business decisions.
This is a great opportunity to get independent benchmarking information tailored to the New Zealand veterinary profession at a reasonable cost.
You must participate in the surveys to access the information.

What do you get?
- The option to participate in any survey that the NZVA and BBVet offer
- Access to interactive graphics and scenario planning
- Access to a hard copy PDF report
The VBC works with BBVet to ensure the survey structure and questions are suitable for the New Zealand market.
The ability to 'cut and dice' data (for example by species or region) exists and will be dependent on the number of participants. The more participants there are, the more valid and useful the information will be.
Commerce Commission (CC) considerations
We have received general advice from the Commerce Commission that it is acceptable to run these surveys, providing the information is not promoted or used as a way to organise price fixing or collusion. The NZVA may use the information gathered to foster conversations in the advocacy space.
The only people who will be able to see your individual data will be BBVet, who need to do so for administration purposes. The NZVA will be able to access macro information only (no site-specific information) which will be important for advocacy work. No-one will be able to view any scenario planning you do at a site level.
To access the benchmarking surveys:
