Rosie Overfield | HR and Governance Consultant
B. Communication, Grad. Dip Counselling, MHROD, GAICD, Cert IV VN
Rosie Overfield brings more than 20 years' experience across human resources, organisational development, mental health and governance. Her work supports veterinary practices to design and implement people and culture systems that are legally sound, equitable, and fit for the realities of high-pressure clinical environments.
Rosie is also a former practice owner and a current member of the AVA THRIVE Veterinary Wellbeing Advisory Committee. She holds a Bachelor of Communication, Graduate Diploma of Counselling, a Master of Human Resources and Organisational Development and is a qualified veterinary nurse.
Most legal risk in veterinary practices doesn’t come from dramatic events. It comes from small, everyday people management decisions. This session explores how informal conversations, delayed performance management, inconsistent flexibility, poor documentation, and blurred wellbeing boundaries can unintentionally expose practices to claims. Using real-world veterinary examples, Rosie reframes HR not as bureaucracy, but as a protective system that supports people, culture, and clinical outcomes.
