Taking Flight: Dr Campbell Costello is one of the new breed of aviation vets servicing the remote corners of Australia.

Campbell Costello's work as a vet has taken him out of his family's station in North Queensland to places as far flung as Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Patagonia.

He's acted as the official vet for a sled race in Alaska, for epic horse races in Mongolia and Argentina, and he has run a cattle station in the former Soviet Union.

But after a family tragedy, Dr Costello got his pilot's licence so he could service Australian communities and stations in the country's most remote corners.

Veterinarian’s are one of the most loved professionals in Australia – they’re the superhumans who keep our best mates and fur babies healthy, and step up to save them if the unbearable occurs.

So, why is it that veterinarians have almost four times the suicide rate of the Australian population? This equates to a veterinarian taking their own life on average every 12 weeks in Australia.

In this episode, Dr Campbell Costello discusses his perspective on the retention, renumeration, and mental health crises plaguing the Australian veterinary industry.

Cozy also shares insights into the major biosecurity threats Australia is currently facing, and why we needs our vets now more than ever.

A veterinarian working across northern Australia has sounded a new alarm over what he calls "an explosion" of cases of the deadly dog disease ehrlichiosis.

Flying vet Campbell Costello said thousands of dogs had now died in the Northern Territory and more were dying daily.

"I am sick of looking at dead dogs, tell people down south they have no idea what is coming."

Ehrlichiosis is a disease spread by the common brown tick which was first discovered in northern Western Australia early last year.
