Veterinary Professional Insurance Society (VPIS) was established in 1987 exclusively to provide tailored insurance and pastoral support to veterinarians and the veterinary profession. Our focus is to ensure our members' interests are protected and promoted wherever possible – so they can focus on being the best they can be for their customers.

We do this primarily by providing Professional Liability insurance that has been developed by veterinarians, for veterinarians. This means our members can take comfort that VPIS insurance has their reality covered.
