The Vertebrate Pests Committee (VPC) is an Australasian committee whose role is to provide coordinated policy and planning solutions to pest animal issues.

VPC operates in accordance with Terms of Reference defined by the Natural Resources Management Standing Committee (NRMSC) and reports to it through the Natural Resources Planning and Policy Committee (NRPPC). Each state and territory, the Australian Government, New Zealand, CSIRO, and the Invasive Animals CRC have membership on the VPC

VPC convenes a number of Technical Working Groups (which may include VPC members) to advise it on technical matters. These include the National Indicators Working Group (monitoring and mapping of pest animals) and the Vertebrate Pest Animal Welfare Working Group.

VPC may be contacted through the VPC Secretariat.
