With outbreaks of Coronavirus occurring at various parts of Australia, Northern Territory Veterinary Services at our two venues, Katherine Veterinary Clinic & Alice Veterinary Centre is closely monitoring the situation in regard to COVID-19 with the various strains.
During lockdowns, as essential services, we are still operating and remain open. We remain vigilant following the advice of the Australian Department of Health and the NT Department of health and will act immediately in accordance with their recommendations. One big concern is ensuring that pets that need their medications or specified diets will continue to be able to access them.

Pet Foods and Repeat Medication
For clients needing food or repeat medications, we have created a new online ordering portal on our website to assist with filling these orders as well as to help with social distancing. This can be seen at https://www.ntvet.com.au/katherine-veterinary-clinic.html or https://www.ntvet.com.au/alice-veterinary-centre.html. We recommend using this portal, alternatively you can phone us in Katherine on 08 8972 3599 or in Alice Springs on 08 8952 4353, or email us at [email protected]. Payment can also be made online.
Delivery ServicesOver the next few months, Northern Territory Veterinary Services will also be introducing a home delivery service for medications and food. This will be at a cost of $10 for deliveries within the town limits and $15 for deliveries to Tindal or the Ilparpa region. Pre-payment is required and goods will be delivered to your front door or gate to reduce contact between people. If you have a special drop off point, please advise staff where you would like the deliveries placed. |
