MELBA, NORTH-WEST CANBERRA - SMALL ANIMAL

FIVE YEARS IN, WE'RE LOOKING FOR OUR FIFTH VET.

Five years ago, Melba Vet was a very different place.

We were one vet, one nurse, a brand-new clinic and only two patients on day one.

Fast forward to December and we'll be celebrating our fifth birthday.

We're now a team of 14, with four vets — and we're looking for our fifth.

We've grown a lot. But one thing hasn't changed:

We still care very much about making Melba Vet a nice place to work.

Not “nice” in the everyone gets a pizza on Friday kind of way.

We mean genuinely good.

Good medicine.
Good nursing support.
Good clients.
Interesting cases.
People who know what they're doing.
People who help each other.

And enough laughter in the back room that you occasionally forget you're at work.

We built Melba Vet around the idea that being a good vet shouldn't require sacrificing your entire life to the profession.

You should be able to care enormously about your patients AND go home on time.

You should be able to be ambitious about your medicine AND have a family, hobbies, holidays and a life.

You should be able to work somewhere small and independent without feeling like you're doing everything yourself.

And we think we've created something pretty special.

Our clients seem to agree — we've maintained a 5-star Google rating, and the feedback we get is often as much about how our team makes people feel as it is about the veterinary care itself.

Please click here to see photos!

SO, WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We're looking for a vet to join us for:

6 months of casual maternity leave cover,
OR
2–3 days per week permanent part time.

You'll get:

A proper mix of consulting and surgery each day
A high nurse-to-vet ratio, generally 2–3:1
Up to $85/hour, depending on experience and special skills
Bonus points if you're an ultrasound wizard — we'd love to make use of someone with strong imaging skills
$3,000 CPD allowance, pro rata
Barista-made coffee every day, because we take workplace wellbeing seriously
A purpose-built, modern small-animal clinic with the equipment and facilities to do good medicine.

If this sounds like your kind of veterinary life, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us admin@melbavetclinic.com.au

Come meet the team, have a coffee, and see what we've built.

See canberravetclinic.com.au, and

BRADDON, CANBERRA - SMALL ANIMAL

We need another vet! Who? Ideally full time (negotiable), a new or recent graduate, or someone keen to undertake membership study.

What do you need to know about us? We love being vets. Most importantly, we want our colleagues to keep loving their jobs too.

Why do we love Northside?

30 minute consults
Great colleagues with a range of further qualifications to support you in medicine, imaging, emergency and critical care, dentistry and surgery
Referral options in town for surgery, internal medicine, exotics, ophthalmology, dermatology
Great coffee around the corner and guaranteed lunch breaks
Regular rostered days off
No after hours, Sundays or public holidays
Purpose built clinic to ASAVA practice standards
ISFM silver standard and Fear-free qualified
Supportive bosses (on the clinical floor), qualified nurses, dedicated receptionists and practice manager
A team that offers cooperative veterinary care whilst still valuing further study and individual expertise, and shares knowledge with daily rounds
Competitive salary package including generous study allowance, annual veterinary registration and radiation licence fees, ISFM/CVE/VIN/Plumbs membership
Part time/flexible work hours negotiable

We're a locally owned business (and aim to stay that way). We're located in the centre of Canberra in a great location next to great food and coffee. Canberra has fabulous access to beautiful National Parks, with snow and surf just an easy drive away and excellent museums and galleries.

Recent testimonials from an experienced vet and our current new grad:

"There's a reason I keep returning to work with them – it feels like coming home. Libby and Winston have always led with integrity and compassion – for their patients, their clients, and their staff. Their commitment to practising a high standard of medicine and surgery is something I deeply value. I absolutely love consulting, and it means so much to me to be able to recommend treatments for people's pets with full confidence in the skill and care of the team. I'd trust them with my own pet in a heartbeat, and that kind of trust is truly precious to me. It's a joy to return to clinical practice with renewed energy and a broader perspective. I'm so grateful to be working with a team that shares my values – and I'm looking forward to caring for the animals (and humans!) of our community together - for quite a while longer, I suspect".

"…As a new graduate veterinarian, I would highly recommend working at Northside Veterinary Centre. I work with an empathetic and caring team of animal lovers; this makes me look forward to coming to work. We practice fear-free techniques, which means our patients have a stress-free time at the vet. We have team and vet meetings to discuss how to improve patient care, discuss up-to-date evidence based medicine and practices, and share any changes we would like for our job. It is a safe space to learn and share experience, skills, and management of cases, in a supportive and encouraging environment. Management is approachable and down-to-earth, they work alongside us so they are in touch with staffing needs, and provide resources for personal growth and education. A great place to work!"

We'll work with you to find a suitable roster. Our standard full time roster consists of 8 working days/fortnight, with a rostered day off each week and an additional day off after working a Saturday. Or negotiate a part-time roster. The clinic is open from 8.00am-6pm Monday-Friday and 8.00am-1pm Saturday. There is no on-call duty and we do not open Sundays nor public holidays.

Our salary package is generous and negotiable with at minimum 4 weeks annual leave and 1 week study leave + study leave allowance + annual practice registration and radiation licence paid, + practice membership for VIN, CVE, Plumbs and ISFM.

CANBERRA REGION - AMBULATORY EQUINE - 2 DAYS PW

Equine Veterinarian - Part-Time
Canberra, ACT - 2 days per week - No after-hours

Looking for a part-time equine role that leaves plenty of room for life outside work?

We’re looking for an equine veterinarian to join our established ambulatory equine practice for two days per week.

We currently provide veterinary services across four days per week and are looking to extend our regular service to five days.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys equine practice but doesn’t want to work full-time. Work two days with us, then use the rest of your week however you like.

You might want to pick up another part-time role, do some small animal or emergency work, spend more time with your own horses, be around for family - or enjoy having a few extra days off.

Our practice currently does not offer after-hours services, so there is no after-hours commitment with this role. If after-hours work is something you enjoy, there may be the opportunity to take this on separately for additional remuneration.

The role involves the usual mix of everyday equine practice, including lameness, dentistry, preventative care, routine consultations and the occasional urgent case within business hours. Our caseload includes general riding horses, competition horses and retired companions, with an established client base and many long-term clients.

Please click here to see photos!

A veterinary nurse attends every appointment, and we have the equipment and support to make the day run smoothly.

What we offer

Two days per week, casual or permanent part time considered
$100,000–$130,000 full-time equivalent salary, depending on experience, paid pro rata
No after-hours commitment
Optional after-hours work if you want it, with additional remuneration
A veterinary nurse at every appointment
New practice vehicle and work phone
Fully cordless digital radiography
Power float and otoscope
Support for dental training and CPD
A friendly, supportive team
An established client base
A good work-life balance

We’re looking for an experienced equine veterinarian who is comfortable managing routine appointments independently and enjoys working as part of a team.

An interest in equine dentistry is important. Dental experience is a bonus, but we’re happy to support further training and CPD in this area.

Two days of equine practice. Plenty of time for everything else.

If you’re looking for a straightforward, enjoyable part-time equine role with good support, good equipment and plenty of flexibility, we’d love to hear from you.
