As per our privacy policy, terms of use and End User License agreements, Vedi will never disclose personal private information to a third party that hasn't been authorised by practice. For example, by submitting a pathology lab request, the vet is authorising Vedi to transmit the specific information required for the submission. Vedi uses SSL/TLS encryption for all communication, ensuring the highest security and data protection standards. Data is always transmitted securely over an encrypted channel (TLS encryption in transit), with sensitive data always encrypted at rest, within the database adhering to stringent Australian Digital Health Agency operating standards.

All Vedi services and components, including business documents, emails, internal communications and source code, are managed within the Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Azure ecosystems.
Verifiable data is data that's checked independently for accuracy and authenticity. Through automation and blockchain technology, Vedi can securely record and confirm details like time, location, identity, vaccination history and more. When a veterinary practice is using Vedi verified data, they're working with the best quality health records.
Vedi integrates with your Practice Management Software to access patient details when an animal's microchip is scanned. The integration also enables Vedi to add verified data to the patient's health record, such as vaccinations and pathology results. For a full list of integrations, visit the Partners & Integrations page.
Vedi offers a hybrid payment model that consists of a monthly subscription that includes all the hardware you'll require and the integration fees with your PIMS, and then pay-as-you-go pricing where you only pay for what you need when you need it. Visit our pricing page for more information on how it all works.
Calculating exactly which vaccinations are needed for an animal is a complex task that needs to take into account an animal's species, breed, age and previous vaccinations. Previously, there's been no simple way to do this and so many animals end up over or under vaccinated. Vedi smart vaccination statuses take all of these factors into account to automatically calculate exactly which individual pathogens to vaccinate against and when.
Privacy and security are our top priority. Our focus is to provide the highest standards of care and confidentiality. Vedi complies with the Australian Privacy Principles, the Privacy Act, and the Veterinary Surgeons Act. Our privacy policy, terms-of-service, and end-user licence agreements detail our obligations as a service provider and the responsibilities of the entities and users utilising our service. These agreements are available for review on vedi.io/legal.
Data security and privacy are of the highest importance to Vedi. Vedi collects the objective medical data you would find on a vaccination certificate, a clinical pathology submission form or a microchip registration form. For Vedi to create verifiable medical data, some recorded events may capture location and user data when scanning a microchip or recording data. All the data remains the property of the veterinary business.

There is no ‘official’ pet health record in Australia mandated by a government body, however Vedi can track your pet’s health for life, acting as their first health record. Vaccination history is the start of building that health record.
Vedi verified health records/health data is data captured and verified through the Vedi app.
No, the Vedi Pet Passport is intentionally “anti-app”, meaning you don’t need to sign up to or install any apps to use it. All you need is a digital vaccination certificate issued by a vet clinic that’s a member of Vedi.
There is no legal requirement to have a pet passport, but pet owners love it for the convenience of having their pet’s health data easily accessible and shareable with others.
The Pet Passport keeps key details about your pet’s vaccination history and immunity status in one place. It links directly to your most recent vet-issued Vedi vaccination certificate, which is emailed to you after each vaccination. Instead of searching your email inbox, you can access a summarised version anytime in your digital wallet and share it as needed. Plus, push notifications remind you when the next vaccination is due.
Only pay for what you use, no lock-in contracts, cancel anytime.
