Vet Nurses and other support staff
Nursing Positions Available in Veterinary Clinics - New South Wales
Concord Veterinary Hospital, Inner West Sydney (posted 11th September)
VETERINARY NURSE — CONCORD VETERINARY HOSPITAL
Sydney Inner West | Full-time (or 3+ days) | No rostered weekends | We close at 5pm
We work in a bank.
An old one. The Commonwealth Bank vault is now our radiology room. We still accept deposits of course.
You’ve just scrolled past a dozen ads.
Supportive team. Varied caseload. Passionate people. Great equipment. All true of us too, so let’s skip it and go to the parts that aren’t the same.
You probably don’t need your Cert IV.
Almost every other ad on this page asks for a Cert IV and two years experience. We’re not going to. Some of the best nurses we’ve ever worked with never finished theirs — they found a clinic they loved, deferred, and never got back around to it. If you’ve got it: genuinely, well done. If you’re halfway through, deferred, three weeks in, or haven’t started — apply anyway.
We would much rather teach a good human how to place a catheter than teach a Cert 4 how to give a shit.
What we actually screen for
Two things, and they’re the same two whether you’re a kennel hand, a receptionist, a nurse or a vet: work ethic, and that you give a shit. If you’re chronically four minutes late, and Fluffy’s water bowl stays empty at 5pm because you’re tired — please scroll on, no hard feelings.
The rest is teachable. Recording an anaesthetic, spiking a bag with potassium, getting a millilitre of adrenaline out of one of those infuriating little glass ampoules. If you can already do all that, brilliant. If you can’t yet, that’s what we’re here for.
The fruit box
We spend more time with each other than with our own families, in close quarters, all day. One bad apple and the entire fruit box turns. We’re after a fruit salad.
So we need to like you — and, just as importantly, you need to like us. Hence trial days, which we pay you for, into your account, on the next pay run. Because that’s the law, and we’re funny like that.
Nurses don’t do phones here
Two (amazing) veterinary receptionists on the floor, every day. You’re welcome. You’ll still pick up the odd call — you won’t pick up ninety percent of them. Instead: admissions, discharges, bloods, catheters, meds, anaesthesia, talking to clients about actual clinical things. And being asked “what do you reckon is going on with Fluffy?” — and being properly listened to when you answer.
How you’ll know we mean the patient care bit
Anyone can type “gold standard”. Here’s ours: heated surgical tables, Bair Huggers, fluid warmers, humidicribs, bar heaters, a drawer of jumpers for the small dogs — and every scrap of bubble wrap that comes through our door, hoarded and wrapped around distal limbs. A cold anaesthetised patient is a decision someone made. We don’t make it.
If you think we could be doing something better, tell us. That’s not a platitude, that’s the job.
The interesting part
Cats. We are the Cat Protection Society of NSW’s vet. Not a vet — theirs. Their van comes and goes every day, the association goes back more than sixty years, and it means proper shelter medicine running alongside private practice. Enormous surgical exposure, flank speys (one of our predecessors pioneered them in Australia), and kittens. So many kittens. Very good for the soul.
FIP. Remember when it was a death sentence? In 2020 we became the first practice in Australia to treat it legally and successfully. Referral hospitals used to send us cases; now they treat them the way we do, and so do the UK and New Zealand. In 2021 we saw 55 cases. 52 of those cats are still alive.
It was flank speys in the eighties. FIP in 2020. There’ll be a next one — you might be here for it.
Greyhounds and Australian Shepherds. Potassium, tranexamic acid, flexor tenotomies for corns, and a pain threshold that isn’t what the folklore says. The rescue circles know us. And Aussies: brats, anxious, ludicrously good looking, MDR1. We’re smitten and we’re not sorry.
The equipment paragraph, because every ad has one
Two surgical suites. Dedicated prep. Wet table for dentals and dirty surgery. Five anaesthetic machines, every one with a Darvall multiparameter monitor — which means ETCO₂ on every anaesthetic, every time. Two IM3 dental machines and two IM3 dental x-ray systems. DR digital x-ray. Ultrasound (fancy and new). Tonometer and a pile of eye toys. IDEXX in-house lab. Transfusion gear. We run a lot of pathology, including the fun stuff. And the pièce de résistance: a LigaSure; turns ninety minutes of ligating a spleen into about ninety seconds and made it roughly ninety times safer. Best bit of kit in the building.
Our clients
Genuinely good people. Is someone occasionally short with you? Yes — same as at Woolworths, and usually it’s anxiety about leaving their dog with us. Defusing that is part of the job. Being yelled at is not. A nearby clinic recently warned us about a new client with a documented history of threats across two practices. We declined to take them on without even seeing them. You will not be handed that person and told to cope.
Hours, money, admin
- Open Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday
- Four long days, then three consecutive days off — roughly 7:30am to 5:30pm, rotating through surgery, hospital and CPS
- No rostered weekends. Occasional Saturday cover is rare, and it’s time and a half
- We close at 5pm on weekdays. In Sydney. Yes, really
- Above award, commensurate with experience, reviewed regularly
- Full-time preferred, three days a week or more is fine
- Australian citizenship, PR, or a visa with the right to work
One more thing
Tattoos, piercings, how you identify: we could not care less, and we can’t quite believe this is still even a thing. If you’re wearing a ring that’ll shred a glove, take it off before your shift. There are two owners here. One has nine tattoos and wants more. The other has none and never will. Commensal living!
Why the job exists
One of our nurses — one of the very best we’ve had — is moving on. We’re not going to dress that up as “we’re growing!” We’re gutted, we wish them everything (good), and now there’s a hole in a very good team.

Animal Referral and Emergency Centre, Broadmeadow, Western Newcastle (posted 26th August)
Experienced Vet Nurse
Ready to take your veterinary nursing career beyond general practice and into referral medicine?
Perhaps you're an experienced GP nurse ready to develop more advanced clinical skills. Perhaps you already have experience in referral nursing and are looking for a hospital where you can continue to grow. Or maybe you're an emergency nurse who loves complex cases but is looking to explore a different area of hospital nursing.
At AREC, our referral services are continuing to grow, and we're looking for experienced Veterinary Nurses who would like to be part of that growth. With expanding services across Surgery and Internal Medicine, alongside Ophthalmology and Rehabilitation, this is an exciting opportunity to develop your nursing career within a truly multidisciplinary veterinary hospital. Because AREC is also home to a busy 24/7 Emergency and Critical Care service, your career doesn't need to fit neatly into one box.
About us:
AREC (Animal Referral and Emergency Centre) was established in 2004 and is a privately owned and operated emergency veterinary hospital led by a singular, highly regarded emergency veterinarian, Dr. David Tabrett, who continues to work within the business. We are a family-oriented, non-corporate, ASAV accredited “Hospital of Excellence” practice with a collaborative team of more than 110 employees.
Our mission is to provide peace of mind for our clients – that is, both pet owners of the Hunter and the local vet clinics to offer relief for after-hours, emergencies and referral services.

The Role:
We are looking for an experienced Veterinary Nurse to join our growing Referral Nursing Team, with opportunities currently available primarily across Surgery and Internal Medicine. Working alongside our referral clinicians and experienced nursing team, you'll be involved in the care of complex medical and surgical patients while developing your skills in advanced diagnostics, procedures, anaesthesia, patient care and hospital nursing.
Depending on your experience and clinical interests, there may also be opportunities to become involved with our developing Ophthalmology and Rehabilitation services. One of the advantages of joining a multidisciplinary hospital like AREC is that your role can continue to evolve. For nurses who enjoy variety, there may also be opportunities to work across our Emergency and Critical Care service, allowing you to maintain or develop your emergency nursing skills while building experience within referral medicine. Equally, if your passion lies firmly within referrals, we want to support you to deepen your knowledge and capability within your chosen area.
Our referral services operate predominantly across weekdays, with 10 hour shifts, offering a different roster structure to our 24/7 Emergency and Critical Care service, which operates across nights, weekends and public holidays. Whether you're looking to specialise, broaden your experience across disciplines, or find the area of veterinary nursing you love most, we'd like to build a role that allows you to keep developing.
Your Duties and Responsibilities:
Depending on the referral service you work within, your role may include:
- Providing high quality nursing care to medical, surgical and hospitalised patients
- Preparing and assisting with advanced diagnostic procedures
- Surgical preparation and assistance
- Anaesthetic monitoring and recovery of referral patients
- Intravenous catheter placement and blood collection

- Supporting patients throughout their hospital journey, from admission through to discharge
- Working collaboratively with nurses, veterinarians and our CSR team across the hospital
- Handling patients in line with our low stress handling techniques
- Contributing to a positive, collaborative and continually developing referral nursing team
Your Skills and Experience:
We're looking for someone who:
- Has a minimum of three years of veterinary nursing experience within a busy GP, emergency or referral environment
- Holds a Certificate IV or equivalent qualification in Veterinary Nursing
- Is confident in their core nursing skills and ready to continue developing clinically
- Has experience working both independently and as part of a team
- Has an interest in Surgery, Internal Medicine or referral nursing more broadly
- Enjoys working with complex patients and developing advanced nursing skills
- Can stay calm, prioritise and multitask within a busy hospital environment
- Has excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Shows initiative and is a genuine team player
- Has a positive outlook and willingness to learn
- Is comfortable working within an evolving service and embraces new opportunities
- Previous referral, surgical, anaesthesia or internal medicine experience would be highly regarded, but it isn't essential. An experienced GP or emergency nurse with strong foundational skills and a genuine desire to move into referral nursing is equally encouraged to apply.
- And if you happen to love both referral and emergency nursing, even better. We'd be happy to talk about what a role working across both areas could look like.
AREC can offer:
- On-the-job training
- The opportunity to develop your career within a growing multidisciplinary referral hospital
- Exposure to Surgery, Internal Medicine and other developing referral services
- Opportunities to work across Referral and Emergency and Critical Care for nurses interested in both

Do you want to work somewhere that values excellent patient care, low-stress handling, good medicine and nurses who are encouraged to actually use their skills?
We'd love to meet you.
Rockdale Veterinary Hospital is a busy, growing, independently owned, purpose-built hospital in Sydney's south. We're looking for an enthusiastic Certifi cate IV Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly team.

What you'll find at Rockdale Vets
We have a modern hospital with excellent facilities and a varied medical and surgical caseload. Our nurses are an important part of the clinical team and are encouraged to develop their skills rather than simply spend their days cleaning cages and answering phones.

We're also committed to Fear Free veterinary care. Our team is Fear Free trained and we put a lot of eff ort into making veterinary visits less frightening and stressful for our patients. If you're not already Fear Free certifi ed, we'll pay for your training and help you get there.
And because we'd like you to keep developing:
You'll receive $500 every year towards continuing education or further study in an area that interests you.

- Be willing to learn – none of us knows everything, and we don't expect you to
- Take responsibility for your work and understand that attention to detail matters enormously in veterinary nursing
Most importantly, we're looking for someone with the right attitude. Skills can continue to develop; being kind, dependable, engaged and willing to learn is much harder to teach.

The position can be full-time or part-time, depending on what works for the right person, and is available to start immediately.
Salary will be above Award and commensurate with experience, and we're very happy to discuss hours and remuneration with the right candidate.

Sound like somewhere you'd enjoy working?

Vets on Falcon & Pet Medical Milsons Point, North Shore Sydney (posted 19th August)
Thoughtful Medicine. Calm Team. Exceptional Standards
Some veterinary hospitals just feel different the moment you walk in.
The nurses are respected.
The vets collaborate.
The medicine is thoughtful.
And patient care feels calm, capable, and intentional.
Pet Medical Milsons Point and Vets on Falcon are independent veterinary hospitals on Sydney's Lower North Shore looking for qualified Veterinary Nurses (Cert IV or UK RVN) to join their growing team.
The two hospitals work as one connected team across Milsons Point and Crow's Nest - only around 7 minutes apart - giving you variety, interesting cases, and a genuinely collaborative environment without feeling like you're constantly "starting over" between hospitals.
And importantly?
These are hospitals built by vets who still work on the floor every day.
Just good people trying to build the kind of veterinary hospitals they'd want their own pets treated in.
Please click here to see photos for Vets on Falcon!
Please click here to see photos for Pet Medical Milsons Point!
What Makes These Hospitals Different?
A lot of practices talk about standards of care.
These hospitals have been intentionally built around them.
At Vets on Falcon:
- Fear Free focused handling and workflows
- ISFM Gold Cat Friendly accreditation
- Purpose-built modern hospital
- Advanced imaging, diagnostics and surgery performed in-house
- A strong focus on calm, low-stress medicine
- On track to become one of only 12 AVA Accredited Hospitals of Excellence in NSW
At Pet Medical Milsons Point:

- Genuinely community-focused and relationship-driven
- A team known for warm, personal care - not conveyor-belt consults
- Both hospitals are proudly independent, deeply team-oriented, and serious about creating an environment where nurses can genuinely use their skills.

You're probably someone who:
- Likes being hands-on with cases
- Notices the little things others miss
- Enjoys talking with clients
- Wants to keep learning
- Takes pride in patient care
- Appreciates a calm, capable team around you
- Gets satisfaction from doing things properly
- You might also be the kind of nurse who's become frustrated with:
- Being treated like "extra hands"
- Working in survival mode every shift
- Feeling stuck doing the same repetitive tasks
If that sounds familiar, this role will probably feel refreshingly different.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
This isn't just a "run bloods, clean cages, answer phones" nursing role.
You'll be involved in:
- Surgical and medical nursing
- Patient assessment and monitoring
- Anaesthesia and peri-operative care
- Diagnostics and imaging
- Client communication and education
- Rehabilitation support as that side of the practice grows
- Helping create genuinely low-stress patient experiences
- There's also a growing rehabilitation focus within the hospitals, so if rehab interests you - or you'd love the chance to develop skills in that area - you'll have real opportunities to get involved.
What's On Offer
- Full-time positions available
- Open to more than one great candidate
- Competitive salary based on experience and capability
- Only 1 in 4 Saturday mornings
- AVA, CVE and ISFM memberships
- Fear Free certification
- Genuine CPD support
- Quarterly team dinners
- A supportive, experienced team that actually enjoys working together

Allambie Vet, Sydney Northern Beaches NSW (posted 18th August) Experienced VN / Vet Tech
Experienced Veterinary Nurse / Vet Tech
Full-Time or Part-Time | Allambie Vet | Sydney's Northern Beaches
Full-time over 4 days | Part-time considered | No Sundays or public holidays
You probably already know how to be a great vet nurse.
You're confident caring for patients, you know your way around a busy hospital, and you've developed plenty of clinical skills along the way. But that's not really what this ad is about.
We're looking for an experienced Veterinary Nurse or Vet Tech to join us at Allambie Vet.
Of course, clinical skills matter. But after more than 40 years of caring for pets on the Northern Beaches, we've learnt that the people who make the biggest difference to a hospital bring something more.
They're the people who notice when a teammate is under the pump and ask, "What can I do?"
Who can be busy without making everyone around them feel stressed.
Who think about what their patient needs but also about the worried person on the other end of the lead or carrier.
Who take responsibility, follow things through and care about the little details.
Who ask questions, share what they know and genuinely want the people around them to do well.
We can teach skills. Finding the right person matters much more to us.
So, who are we?
Allambie Vet is a busy, independently owned, family-run small animal hospital on Sydney's Northern Beaches. We've been part of our local community for more than 40 years, and many of the families who walk through our doors have trusted us with generations of their pets.
We're proud of that.
We have an experienced team of vets, nurses, animal attendants and client care staff who genuinely care about providing excellent medicine and a great experience for the people who trust us with their animals.
We work hard. We have high standards. And we're busy.
Some days run beautifully.
Other days, surgery changes, an inpatient needs more attention than expected and an emergency arrives just as you've mentally started packing up.
That's veterinary medicine.
What matters to us is what happens next.
People communicate. Priorities change. Someone starts setting up while someone else helps with the waiting clients. We work out what needs to happen and get on with it together.
We're busy, but you're not on your own.
We want our nurses to actually nurse.
Our nurses aren't here simply to hold animals for the vet or spend their day filling gaps.
They're an important part of the clinical team and an important part of every patient's journey.
Our nursing roster rotates through dedicated roles including Surgery, Procedures, Medical Treatment and Consulting, giving our nurses structure, variety and genuine responsibility for their area of the hospital.
Depending on the day, you could be involved in:
- Anaesthesia, surgery and patient recovery
- Caring for medical and hospitalised patients
- IV catheters, blood collection and fluid therapy
- Dental procedures and dental radiography
- Digital radiography and diagnostic imaging
- In-house pathology
- Nurse consultations
- Patient admissions and discharges
- Working alongside our vets on treatment plans and patient care
- Interesting medical and surgical cases that don't always read the textbook
And because no two days in a veterinary hospital are identical, everyone still helps wherever they're needed.
The people at the other end of the lead matter too.
Excellent veterinary care isn't only about what happens to a patient in treatment.
Our nurses spend a lot of time one-on-one with our clients, and those relationships are incredibly important to us.
We want someone who notices when an owner is worried or overwhelmed. Who takes an extra minute to explain something properly, checks that they understand their pet's medications, remembers to make the phone call they promised or simply thinks, "Is there anything else I can do to make this a little easier?"
Often it's the small things people remember.
We want our clients to leave feeling that their pet was genuinely cared for and that they were cared for too.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for a qualified Veterinary Nurse or Vet Tech, ideally with at least 2 years' clinical experience.
We're deliberately not going to give you a long checklist of every clinical skill we think you should already have.
Instead, we're looking for someone who:
- Enjoys working in a busy, fast-paced hospital
- Notices what is happening around them and gets involved
- Can prioritise and adapt when the day suddenly changes
- Takes initiative rather than always waiting to be asked
- Communicates openly, kindly and respectfully
- Thinks about what their patient and their client might need
- Takes ownership and follows things through
- Is comfortable asking for help – and equally quick to offer it
- Wants to keep learning and improving
- Treats every member of the hospital team with the same respect
- Takes pride in doing a good job
- Can have a laugh with us along the way
You don't need to know everything or have worked with every piece of equipment we have. For the right person, we're very happy to teach.
What matters most is much harder to teach: kindness, initiative, work ethic, empathy and genuinely caring about the people and patients around you.
Four days at work. Three days for everything else.
Most of our full-time nurses prefer longer shifts, allowing them to work their full-time hours across four days per week rather than the traditional five.
We're also very happy to hear from an experienced nurse or technologist looking for part-time hours.
We're closed Sundays and public holidays, and there are no overnight or on-call shifts.
We are, however, a hospital.
Occasionally a sick patient or emergency doesn't look at the clock before arriving, and there will be times when patient care means the team stays beyond the scheduled finish.
We'd rather be upfront about that than promise you'll walk out the door at exactly the same time every day.
Saturday shifts are shared across the nursing team and our rosters are planned in advance.
A hospital that lets you do your job well
We've invested heavily in our hospital so our team has the facilities and equipment they need to provide excellent patient care, including:
- Digital and dental radiography
- Ultrasound and endoscopy
- Advanced anaesthetic monitoring and ventilators
- Dedicated surgical and dental facilities
- In-house pathology
- A newly built dedicated cat hospital
But equipment isn't what makes a great workplace.
People do.
You'll work alongside experienced vets who value their nurses, a skilled nursing team with a broad range of experience, and a leadership team that's here in the hospital and understands what a busy veterinary day actually looks like.
We support CPD and ongoing education, and if there's an area of nursing you're particularly interested in developing, we want to help you get there.
What you'll get from us
- Above-award remuneration based on your experience and skills
- Full-time hours across 4 days per week, with part-time options available
- No Sundays or public holidays
- No overnight or on-call shifts
- Shared Saturday roster
- CPD and ongoing in-house education
- Generous veterinary discounts for your own pets
- A structured nursing roster with genuine clinical responsibility
- An experienced veterinary and nursing team around you
- Opportunities to continue developing your clinical skills and interests
And hopefully, a workplace where you can do really good nursing with people you genuinely enjoy working with.
Maybe you're not actively looking.
That's okay too.
But if you've read this far and found yourself thinking, "Actually, that sounds like somewhere I'd like to work," we'd really like to hear from you.
A few important practical things
To be considered for this role, you must:
- Have Australian permanent residency or citizenship and unrestricted working rights in Australia
- Hold a current Australian driver's licence
Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
You don't need to send us the world's most polished cover letter.
Send us your CV and tell us a little about you – what you enjoy about veterinary nursing, what you're looking for next, or simply why this ad caught your attention.
Come in, meet us, have a look around the hospital and see what you think.

You know that small acts of kindness can make a difficult night easier for both pets and people.

It is not a training position, and occasional sole charge is involved, so a mature, responsible, engaging personality is required.
The practice has an inhouse Idexx Catalyst pathology station, an AAS Stinger anaesthetic machine and an IM3 dental machine. Light cattery duties are also involved.
We use Open VPMS cloud based practice software: experience with this is advantageous but not essential.
