AVBC is seeking a psychometric/assessment expert to join its Australasian Veterinary Examination (AVE) Committee.

The AVE provides a registration pathway for overseas-qualified veterinarians in Australia and New Zealand. The Committee oversees examination design, delivery, quality assurance and standard setting to ensure fair, valid, reliable and defensible assessment.

Working alongside veterinary clinicians and educators, you will contribute expertise in:

- examination blueprints and assessment methods
- psychometric analysis and standard setting
- examiner calibration and moderation
- the triennial independent psychometric review.

While a veterinary background is not essential, experience in health skilled education, credentialing, licensure examinations or clinical competence assessment is particularly welcome.





Applicants must be based in Australia or New Zealand. Terms are three years, renewable once. Meetings are mostly online, with occasional in-person meetings and out-of-session work.

To apply, submit a CV and a short statement outlining your assessment and psychometrics expertise to [email protected]
