MILE END, INNER W ADELAIDE - SMALL ANIMAL/SPECIALIST, URGENT CARE/INTERNSHIP COMPONENT

Urgent Care+ Vet (full-time)

This is NEW role with UNIQUE components – read on if learning and career development excites you!

An exciting opportunity has opened for an Urgent Care+ Vet (full-time permanent) to join our Urgent Care team. This role comes with unique benefits (hence the +).

The role:
This new full-time role combines elements of internship, independent Vet and Urgent Care Vet. You will be doing:

You will rotate through Urgent Care (available 24/7) as well as the various specialist departments, providing the best possible care for patients, learning best practice/specialist knowledge, and using all the equipment. On a daily basis, you will interact and learn from a supportive specialist team (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Imaging, Ophthalmology). These are also available 24/7 either in person or on call.

If you get excited about taking your career to the next level, enjoy the excitement of urgent care and emergency work, and want to be a part of a friendly and dynamic environment, join us!

What is unique?
You will spend up to 12 weeks per annum rotating through the specialist departments to learn and immerse yourself in specialty departments (although more weeks can be discussed), with the remainder of the time participating in the Urgent Care department (weekdays, nights and weekends).

You will have more autonomy and responsibility than an internship, and be provided with more specialist rotations than our part-time Urgent Care Vet positions. As a result, remuneration lies between these two positions. As a result, remuneration lies between these two positions ($95,000 - $180,000) based on prior experience and industry acumen. We are open to negotiating this to align with qualifications, experience, and the rotated number of weeks.

This is a full-time position (three positions available) and the roster will rotate Mon-Sun between various shifts, including nights and weekends. The position is permanent, or until you decide you’ve learned enough (is there every such a thing?!) or want to move to a full-time Urgent Care role.

About The Austin:
Our custom-built hospital (1200m2) is designed around a synergistic approach to patient care. Between specialist departments in surgery, internal medicine, ophthalmology and imaging, we work as one team to ensure outstanding patient care and exceptional customer service.

Our hospital has all the instruments necessary to enable our team to relish their chosen careers, and flourish. This includes intensive care facilities, large central treatment area, surgery wing, full suite of imaging equipment and dedicated medicine room.

PORT LINCOLN, EYRE PENINSULA - MIXED OR SMALL ANIMAL New Graduates welcome New Position

VET WANTED: Likes Animals, Can Hold Their Bladder for Hours (Optional, But Impressive)

Location: Port Lincoln, SA | Vets On Eyre

Hey, you. Yes, you—the vet who’s scrolling job ads looking for something that doesn’t sound like corporate jargon or an endless list of unrealistic expectations.

Let’s cut to the chase: We’re looking for a veterinarian to join our team at Vets On Eyre. Part-time or full-time, smallies or mixed—let’s chat and figure out what works for you.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

✅ Port Lincoln = Coastal Paradise – Think fishing, diving, surfing, hiking, and camping on your days off. Goodbye, traffic. Hello, ocean breezes.
✅ Mixed Practice, Rural Vibes – 80% smallies, 10% equine, and a sprinkling of sheep and cattle for good measure. Once we are back fully staffed with vets we aim to re-commence our remote vet visits to coastal towns—so if you love road trips, this could be your jam.
✅ Actual Support & Mentorship – We have 1 full-time and 4 part-time vets, plus senior support when needed. We’ll try not to throw you into the deep end without floaties.
✅ Fair After-Hours Roster & Compensation – 1-in-4 rotation, 70% of professional fees, and VetCheck 24/7 handling triage so you only get the real emergencies (not “Fluffy coughed once an hour ago”).
✅ Flexible Consults & Time to Breathe – 15 minutes for vaccines, 30+ minutes for everything else. No conveyor belt medicine here.
✅ CPD & Perks – $2000 annual CPD allowance, VSBSA registration covered, and epic staff discounts.
✅ Employee Assistance Program (EAP) – Because mental health matters, and we actually care about your well-being.

💰
 Show Me the Money 💰

We’re willing to pay up to $140k + super for the right applicant. Salary is negotiable based on experience, but if you’ve got the skills and attitude we’re looking for, we’ll make it worth your while.

Who We’re Looking For:

✔️ A vet who’s confident enough to handle a shift solo but knows when to call in backup.
✔️ Bonus points if you know the difference between a cat that’s “just a little spicy” and a cat that has murder in its eyes.
✔️ Experience is great, but if you’re a new grad with a solid attitude, resilience and a willingness to learn, we’d love to support you.
✔️ Mixed practice skills are a plus, but if you prefer to stick to small animals, we can make that work.

Ready to Join Us?

Shoot your CV (or just an email saying “Tell me more!”) to:
📧 Greg Sezun, Lisa Wiseman & Madeleine Baird
📩 Email: management@vetsoneyre.com.au

If you’re still undecided, take this as your sign to stop doomscrolling job ads and reach out.

Worst case? You get to chat with some cool people about your next career move. Best case? You land a great job in an incredible location.
