HAMPTON PARK, SOUTH EAST MELBOURNE - SMALL ANIMAL

Hi, I’m Dr Cameron and I own Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital.

Ever been stumped trying to answer a question…?

Wracking your brain but coming up with nothing…?

For 28 years I have been solving medical problems for pets on a daily basis but this one question was so difficult to answer.

What was the question that stumped a Vet with 28 years experience…?

“Why should someone work with Dr Cameron and the team at Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital?”

Now I wasn’t stumped because it’s such a terrible place to work but because it was easy to answer the obvious things…

The team…
The clients…
The facilities…

But those things are what I feel every other practice owner seems to say.

What stumped me was being able to truly articulate what makes us unique (we Vets are traditionally very modest!).

So, just like when I get stumped by the answer to a medical puzzle I turned to colleagues, clients and specialists for some insight.

Here is what they said…

“Integrity and honesty underpins all their relationships.”
We pride ourselves on doing the right things the right way for the pets, their owners and those who are part of my team

“Fairness.”
Everyone client and team member is treated equally and respectfully.

“Compassion.”
Apparently there hasn’t been a day I haven’t gone home talking about the clients and pets that came through the consult room or surgery.

Caring is a verb not an adjective.

“Ambition.”
I have always set myself lofty goals and targets and I love to take others along for the ride and help them to do the same.

“Commitment.”
Even after 28 years I still love to continue to tweak and make improvements to my skills and how we do what we do.

What might you take from this..?

If you join the team I go to bat for you. You will be well supported to achieve the goals you have for yourself and evolve into the best Veterinarian you can be.

If you join the team your voice will count. We are a small but tight knit group where everyone contributes valuably to delivering excellent service.

If you join the team you will be treated well. If there is one thing I have learnt it is to value ourselves as professionals and the skills and service we deliver.

Of course, if you join the team there is the usual stuff I mentioned earlier too…

Not forgetting excellent remuneration based on experience.

If joining a team that is led with these guiding principles as their north star sounds attractive then we should talk.

You will be perfect if…

You have a few years’ experience, so you know your way around a consult room…
You take pride in doing your very best for yourself, the pet and their owner…
You are a people person…
You enjoy the cut and thrust of a GP small animal clinic.

I am really looking for someone who is committed to cementing their career with us.

The good news is that you will be able to do this AND work part time. It is a role suited to you if you are keen for 20 to 25 hours per week.

We are pretty flexible with how this works although it requires a regular Saturday morning shift.

Unlike most other jobs going I’m not going to ask for a CV or a cover letter (well not right away…).

If you are keen to learn more let’s have a no strings attached chat and explore what the future might look like. If it’s something worth exploring further I am sure we will both know it!

Send me an email at cameron@hamptonparkvets.com.au or a text on 0493 248 187 and we can go from there.

We are seeking a veterinarian who will work well in a large, friendly and supportive team of vets and nurses that provide a high level of care to our patients.

The Position:

Well-supported position within a great team of 10 vets spread across two clinics
4 x 9.5 hour weekday shifts with one rostered weekday off, plus 1 in 4 Saturday morning shifts
1 in 7 weeknights on call plus 1 in 7 weekends on call

Both clinics comprehensively equipped with premium diagnostic and monitoring equipment.
Please click here to see photos!

Words from one of our Associate Vets:

We are one of the few clinics where is it possible to live in the "city" and do mixed animal practice
Our nurses are well-trained to look after us, not over-book and give us enough time for consults, phone calls and catch-ups. Lunchtimes and home-times are considered sacred, and we almost always get out on time. If you want to leave the clinic to go for a walk or pick up lunch at lunchtime, that is almost always possible.
Doing on-call is an opportunity to serve the local community, to gain unique experience, learn to think on your feet and see some cool cases, but we also have the ability to refer small animal emergencies to 24-hour centres so they can receive the best of care (which also means on-call isn't overly busy)
As we see such a variety of animals and cases, there is definitely the ability for vets to develop a special interest - anything from alpacas, or equine dentistry, or small animal behaviour. But otherwise, this is an awesome clinic to become a well-rounded mixed animal practitioner, with vets experienced in different areas to provide support and guidance.
Our large animal work is often for clients who keep a small number of these animals as pets, and so individual diagnostics and treatment are often pursued, but there is also the scope for doing some herd health work if vets are interested
We have the ability both to work-up and treat complicated cases in-house, and use travelling specialists, but also, we commonly refer and have excellent relationships with specialist centres
Our clients are generally excellent, usually very respectful and keen to do the best for their animals. As a small independent practice, we have many clients that have been coming to the clinic for decades and value the personalised care we can provide for their animals.
We are a very casual, friendly, chatty bunch. We work hard but have fun. The radio plays out the back. We often sit and have lunch together. The vet team are very supportive and approachable and share cases and ideas and ask each other for help commonly.

Please contact Andy Lynch at andrew.lynch@thevetsurgery.com.au or at the Yarrambat Veterinary Hospital 03 9436 1699 to register your interest or to further discuss the position.

KEYSBOROUGH, SOUTH EAST MELBOURNE - SMALL ANIMAL New Position

Love strikes again at Keysborough Vet…

One of our vets is getting married and moving across town, and another will be going on maternity leave, so we are looking for a new vet, potentially two, to join our team. While full time hours are preferred, a part time position may be available for the right fit.

At Keysborough Vet Practice we believe that a trip to the vet should be a positive experience, both for clients and their pets, and even more importantly, for the staff who work here. We focus on providing quality veterinary care tailored to the individual pet and client.

Privately owned and run, we can provide flexibility and personal service that may not be possible with a corporate practice. There is no after hours requirement, we are lucky enough to be situated within easy reach of 2 emergency centres, however we are open 9-2 Saturdays, and there would be a requirement to share in the Saturday roster. Full time staff have a rostered long weekend the week after working a Saturday to try and maintain some balance. Sole charge is minimal, and we have regular discussions amongst vets about cases. The schedule includes blocked times for phone calls & follow up, lunch breaks, and sometimes even a mocktail Friday! Continuing education is supported & encouraged, and we have an hourly pay rate rather than salary, to ensure staff are paid for all the time they work. We have a fantastic nursing and reception team ready to support you as well.

If you’d like to come meet us and see if we could have the job you’re after, please send your application to nicole@keysivet.com.au

SE MELBOURNE - SMALL ANIMALS New Position

VETERINARIAN WANTED – Join Team Leroy at Berwick Vet Hospital

⚠️WARNING:
Reading this may trigger the irresistible urge to rethink your career.
Caution: This role contains dangerously high levels of job satisfaction, team banter, and actual lunch breaks.
Stop scrolling at your own risk.

To the Vet Who's Seen a Few Things,
If you've already clocked a few years in practice and you're looking for a new kind of normal - where the team has your back, your lunch break is more than a myth, and the snacks cupboard is always stocked (and so is the conversation around better ways to do things) - we might be the right fit.

At Berwick Veterinary Hospital, we're not just a clinic - we're a proudly independent, ASAV-accredited GP Hospital of Excellence that's been trusted by the local community for over 30 years. Our clients stick with us, our team does too (some have been here longer than the autoclave), and our caseload is the kind that keeps you interested without breaking your soul.
We're growing and looking for an experienced vet to bring their insight, curiosity, and clinical strength to the team – and maybe contribute a baked good or two along the way.

🩺 What You'll Be Walking Into:

This isn't just a job - it's a workplace where you'll actually want to show up. Our team is genuinely supportive, our clients are loyal (and growing), and our culture strikes the balance between professional excellence and not taking ourselves too seriously.
We're proud of our tight-knit team who bring a variety of skills and backgrounds to the clinic - there's always something to learn here. That said, we're not stuck in our ways. We love hearing new ideas. If you've got a better way to do something - we're all ears.
You'll be part of a clinic that prioritises people as much as pets. We've built a culture on mutual respect, clinical excellence, and humour - we have annual awards for excellence (and also downright stupidity). Don't fret, the latter is usually taken out by our boss each year. It's the kind of team that actually likes working together (weird, right?) - and always has each other's backs.

⏰ Our Version of Work-Life Balance:

Full-time = four 10-hour days, with a fair mix of morning and evening shifts
Need flexibility? Let's talk. We get that life doesn't always fit neatly into a roster 🫠
No on-call. No Sundays. No public holidays. Ever
Work a Saturday? Have a long weekend ✈️
Work 36 hours per week, get paid for 38 - The chance to breathe (or catch up on those histories you've been avoiding)

Support & growth, minus the fluff

Mentorship? Absolutely.
Career progression? We'll back you.
Want to explore a new special interest (bonus points if it's birds - we'll happily handball 😜) – we offer study leave, generous CPD allowance, AVA membership, and regular in-clinic training (yes, there's always food involved 🤤).

👌Our nursing team: Certified Legends

Skilled, experienced, and actively involved in case management.
You'll work in dedicated vet/nurse pairs for continuity, collaboration, and sanity.
We deliver gold-standard care, backed by all the toys you'd expect - and a few extras.
Oh, and did we mention our dedicated receptionist? She's the glue that holds the clinic together – with an effortless ability to balance client care and team support, and a sixth sense for when morale needs a lift – just when you think the day's going sideways, she quietly pulls a perfectly timed homemade treat from her freezer stash (baked on her day off, of course).

🌈 We value what you value.

Whether you're a parent returning to practice who needs flexibility, or an experienced vet wanting a fresh start without all the corporate fluff - we'll meet you where you're at. We're open to shaping a role around the right person.

❓Who are we looking for?

🦄 We're not chasing unicorns (we've got plenty of those). Just a great vet, who cares.

Ready? Let's do this.

If you've read this far, you're either interested or hungry. Either way, email us, call us, or just turn up – we'll be ready.

In this leadership role, you'll foster a collaborative and supportive team culture, guiding the Cranbourne Shelter Veterinary team to ensure decisions are always made in the best interests of the animals in our care.

You'll also champion the personal and professional development of your team, encouraging a mindset of continuous learning and adaptability.

With minimal client involvement, you'll enjoy the opportunity to diagnose and manage cases independently and in collaboration with other shelter veterinarians who bring interests spanning ophthalmology, orthopaedic surgery, and behavioural medicine.

You'll experience the continuity of care, seeing animals through from admission to adoption.

What We Offer You:

Fantastic career development with the challenge of shelter work and extensive opportunities to develop skills in animal welfare and the unique area of shelter medicine.

⚠️WARNING:

Reading this may trigger the irresistible urge to rethink your career.

Caution: This role contains dangerously high levels of job satisfaction, team banter, and actual lunch breaks.

Stop scrolling at your own risk.

Dear the Next Member of Team Leroy,
So, you’re a vet ✅. Clinically sharp, big on teamwork, quick with a laugh—and mildly dependent on caffeine. Lucky for you, our receptionist expresses love one flat white at a time.

🩺What’s the gig?
We’re a privately owned, proudly independent clinic—the original vet practice in the area, with 30-ish years under our belt (we’ve lost count, to be honest). We have long-standing clients (and team members), a growing caseload, and a rock-solid reputation. Now, we’re looking for someone new to join us.

Whether you’re a year or two out of uni with wide eyes and boundless enthusiasm, or a seasoned pro who can desex a cat blindfolded (please don’t), we want to chat.

This isn’t just a job—it’s a workplace where you’ll actually want to show up. Our team is genuinely supportive, our clients are loyal (and growing), and our culture strikes the balance between professional excellence and not taking ourselves too seriously.

We’re proud of our tight-knit team who bring a variety of skills and backgrounds to the clinic— there’s always something to learn here. That said, we’re not stuck in our ways. We love hearing new ideas. If you’ve got a better way to do something—we’re all ears.

You’ll be part of a clinic that prioritises people as much as pets. We’ve built a culture on mutual respect, clinical excellence, and humour—we even have a monthly award for moments of sheer ridiculousness (the boss is in the running for the annual trophy every year, so don’t worry, you’ve got stiff competition). It’s the kind of team that actually likes working together (weird, right?)—and always has each other’s backs.

Please click here to see photos!

⚖️ Work-life balance isn’t just a buzzword.

We’ve recently reduced our opening hours to 9am–7pm to support a healthier work-life balance 💛
Full-time = four 10-hour days, with a fair mix of morning and evening shifts
Need flexibility? Let’s talk. We get that life doesn’t always fit neatly into a roster 🫠
No on-call. No Sundays. No public holidays. Ever
Work a Saturday? Have a long weekend ✈️
Work 36 hours per week, get paid for 38 — The chance to breathe (or catch up on those histories you’ve been avoiding)

Support & growth, minus the fluff

Mentorship? Absolutely.
Career progression? We’ll back you.
Want to explore a new special interest (bonus points if it’s birds—we’ll happily handball 😜) - we offer study leave, generous CPD allowance, AVA membership, and regular in-clinic training (yes, there’s always food involved 🤤).

👌The nursing team? Absolutely stellar.

Skilled, experienced, and actively involved in case management.
You’ll work in dedicated vet/nurse pairs for continuity, collaboration, and sanity.
We deliver gold-standard care, backed by all the toys you’d expect—and a few extras.

🌈 We value what you value.
Whether you’re a new grad looking for support, a parent returning to practice who needs flexibility, or an experienced vet craving something different—we’re here for it. We’re open to finding a plan that works for everyone.

❓Who are we looking for?
🦄 We’re not chasing unicorns (we’ve got plenty of those). Just a great vet, who cares.

Ready? Let’s do this.
Email us. Call us. Send a pigeon. Just don’t wait too long—we’re excited to meet you, and we’re already writing your name on a coffee mug.

See you soon,

HAMPTON EAST, MELBOURNE BAYSIDE - SMALL ANIMAL New Position

Experienced Veterinarian - Full time at independently owned and operated, newly renovated clinic.

About us:
The Moorabbin Veterinary Hospital is a large, purpose-built small animal practice.

We have just completed a major renovation and now have a new modern hospital with separate dog and cat wards, open workspace with wet table, separate dental suite, imaging room, enlarged surgery and a very comfortable staffroom.

Established in 1958, we pride ourselves on our thriving, collaborative and organised working environment. We are independently owned and operated by two currently practising veterinarians, who, like you, want to work in a pleasant environment in a sustainable way.

We know that burn out is real, so our break times are scheduled and respected and overtime is very minimal. We are big on giving you enough time to do your job well, with routine appointments being allocated 20 minutes, and the more complicated cases allocated 30 minutes. We have a large clientele base that are very appreciative and will allow you to work up cases properly.

This job is a great opportunity for you to work to the highest level of general practice care, with colleagues who are compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled.

We are a 10-veterinarian team, typically running with 4-5 vets per weekday, who are supported by 5-6 nurses and 2 dedicated receptionists each day.

We have all the usual high-tech equipment, including wall mounted CR Vet digital dental x-rays, IM3 Vet-Tome, Tono Vet tonometry hand piece, video otoscope and high-quality ultrasound with 2 newly upgraded probes. Plus, we have a new Breville Espresso coffee machine, because we know good coffee is just as important as good veterinary equipment!

Our surgical suite is fully equipped for advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures. If surgery is your thing there are plenty of opportunities to get your hands bloody, collaborate with an experienced membership surgeon and scrub in with visiting specialists.

If your interests lay outside of the theatre, 3 of our vets have memberships in medicine, along with others working towards memberships in behaviour, medicine, and imaging that you can collaborate with. Other areas of interest amongst our experienced team include clinical pathology, ophthalmology, dentistry, and ultrasonography. Need help? We’ve got your back!

No matter your area of interest we encourage you to forge your own path and are happy to financially support continuing education and the purchase of specialised equipment. There’s plenty of opportunities for internal referrals to allow you to see the cases you are most interested in.

About you:
We are looking for a full-time veterinarian. Being a part of our rotating weekend roster is a must.

Our ideal candidate must be passionate about delivering high quality clinical care, whilst having empathy and being a strong communicator.

Thorough case work up, maintaining good client relationships and long-term planning are equally important skills. On top of all the serious stuff, we don’t mind having a laugh and are looking for someone who can fit in with a fun bunch of individuals who aren’t afraid to have a good time.

Whether you’re seeking a new challenge, a shift in career direction or a relocation to a new environment, we would love to have a chat. If you have any questions or require further information about the role, please do not hesitate to reach out.

🚨 Associate Veterinarian (Part-Time to Full-Time) 🚨
Location: Eltham Veterinary Practice, Eltham Victoria

Starts part-time with full-time potential, recent graduates welcome to apply

Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where teamwork, compassion, and the occasional dog in a tutu are all part of the job? Are you the kind of vet who not only knows their stuff but actually cares - about patients, pet parents, and not leaving the surgery room light on? Then congratulations- you might be just what we’re looking for.

🏥 About Us:
At Eltham Veterinary Practice we’re not just a veterinary practice - we're a team powered by Respect, Teamwork, Compassion, Integrity, and High Standards. Basically, we try to be the kind of people our pets think we are. The award winning INDEPENDENT Eltham Veterinary Practice (EVP) is co-owned by Drs Steve Pryor and Gus Braniff and is located in the beautiful bushland suburb of Eltham.

We're growing, and we want someone who’s in it for the long haul - or at least has more staying power than Carlton.

Please click here to see photos!

🐾 What You’ll Be Doing:

Practicing excellent veterinary medicine with the backup of a supportive, snacks-stocked team
Building trust and rapport with clients - because you're not just treating animals, you're reassuring the people who love them
Handling everything from routine check-ups to “uh-oh, this just happened” emergencies
Switching tasks mid-sentence if needed (because yes, sometimes the cat sneezes and the dog throws up - at the same time)

✅ The Ideal You:

Friendly, warm, and honestly... honest
Hardworking with the stamina of a Labrador puppy on espresso
Naturally good at customer service and building genuine relationships (we like people who like people and pets)
Able to keep calm, manage time like a pro, and maintain grace under pressure - even if someone brought in a wombat with a bad attitude
Happy to take ownership of your role - you know what needs doing and you get it done
Willing to learn, open to feedback, and not afraid to ask questions (or laugh at Gus’s jokes)
Independent enough to work solo – (would do this rarely), but team-minded enough to back up your colleagues without being asked
Flexible when plans change (which they do… often… usually mid-coffee)

🎁 What You Get:

Competitive pay (we know what you’re worth)
A friendly, respectful team that actually likes working together
Flexible hours and a chance to grow into a full-time role
Weekly lunch bought by practice followed by 2 hour staff meeting/training session
Opportunities for ongoing learning - because we love curiosity
A workplace where your values really matter
The unofficial clinic motto: "Serious about medicine/surgery. Slightly less serious about everything else."

If you're ready to join a practice where respect is real, teamwork is tight, and we laugh at the chaos instead of crying about it, we’d love to hear from you.

📧 Send us your resume to steve@elthamvet.com.au, a short note about why this feels like your kind of place, and (optional but encouraged) any good jokes/memes.

Join our passionate team and be part of an exciting journey in veterinary care.

Preparation of daily inpatient records for hospitalised surgery patients
Timely and comprehensive reporting to the specialists on the condition of their inpatients.
Communication with clients and referring veterinarians on behalf of the surgeons when requested.
The surgical intern is not required to contribute to the on-call roster although there is the potential for the intern to participate in rostered in-patient care on Saturday mornings.
Participation in, and contribution to, weekly surgery rounds/journal club sessions

Qualifications

Candidates must be eligible for veterinary registration in Victoria and have excellent communication skills and work ethic, as well as a strong knowledge base on which to build
Clinical experience is desirable but not essential
This position is suited to a highly motivated vet seeking to further their skills and knowledge in Small Animal Surgery
Team coherence is extremely important to us and above all, we value someone who is a team player and an active learner

A strong sense of empathy and respect for both clients and their pets and someone who sees themselves as part of a larger clinic team. Aiming to make everyone's working lives pleasant and rewarding, whilst helping owners and their animals through the various stages of life
Confidence in sole-charge situations, both consulting and performing surgery
A commitment to providing gold-standard care

The Role

We’re flexible with scheduling and are looking for the right person, whether you're seeking full-time, part-time, or casual work. We are especially looking for someone available for a mix of midweek and weekend shifts, but we're happy to work around your availability.

Weekday hours: 9 am – 6/8 pm
Weekend hours: 11 am – 10 pm

Weekend shifts involve some standard consults initially but then only emergencies for the rest of the day. Think - blocked cats, GDVs, HGE, caesareans, foreign bodies, stitch-ups, animals in heart failure etc. You'll never be bored, and you'll always be supported. While the role is sole-charge, you'll have direct access to senior vet input via phone when needed.

If you're ready to be part of a clinic that values your skills, supports your growth, and makes every shift feel meaningful — we'd love to hear from you.
