Varroa Development Officers are available to support and advise beekeepers on all aspects of varroa management.

Varroa Development Officers, or VDOs, are critical members of the National Varroa Mite Management Program. 

Their role involves helping recreational and commercial beekeepers understand and implement Varroa management techniques, improve hive health and undertake sustainable hive practices.

Together with other team members, VDOs help improve industry resilience and capacity.

Beekeepers with concerns can contact our Victorian Varroa Development Officers by submitting the form, or by calling 1800 958 485.

To get in contact with a VDO in Victoria, contact Jennifer Ryan, Extension and Engagement Coordinator, by completing this form.
