Experienced or Recent Graduate Small Animal / Equine Practice Veterinarian for young, energetic and rapidly growing practice in one of the most vibrant townships in Australia – Alice Springs.

Northern Territory Veterinary Services’ Alice Veterinary Centre is rapidly growing and we are seeking a sixth veterinarian to join our friendly team. Ideally you will have small animal/equine practice experience or at least be competent with small animals and basic ambulatory pleasure horse practice and we’ll show you the rest.

The Practice:
The practice is recently renovated, expanding into a large purpose build, fully air conditioned and includes two dedicated surgical theatres, large prep/treatment room, separate dog and cat wards, and horse stables. Equipment includes digital x-ray, 2 ultrasounds, endoscopes, in house Idexx lab machines, fluid pumps, pulse ox, ECG and BP monitors, digital dental xray, iM3 dental machine, orthopaedic equipment (TPLO and Stryker Drills), fully computerized with Rx works and 3 vehicles equipped for Equine ambulatory practice and remote community work. The clinic is rapidly expanding with the majority of the work being small animal and equine. We work also with the local wildlife centres and parks, treating a variety of native wildlife. We do a small amount of cattle station work, and this area can be focused on and grown if desired.

Remote Indigenous Community Practice:
In Alice Springs, we also operate Aboriginal Community Veterinary Services, providing services to remote indigenous communities throughout the whole NT. Community trips will be fully mentored and then accompanied with a nurse. Visits last for 1 to 14 days, averaging 5 days in duration and often travelling to spectacular and otherwise inaccessible areas including Uluru and the MacDonnell Ranges. Our remote work offers unique veterinary experiences in remote areas not normally seen by the general public. It is a great way to enhance animal welfare in remote communities.

We are seeking an experienced small animal or Small Animal/Equine veterinarian to help expand the practice which has grown rapidly. Applicants can be predominantly small animal or equine focused. Small animal work which is a large percentage of the practice includes routine small animal medicine and surgery with advanced surgical options if desired, and a small component of birds, natives and exotics. Equine work is routine ambulatory practice for pleasure and station horses and local racetrack attendance. Willingness to travel to remote Aboriginal Communities and overseas to take part in dog and cat health and control programs is also encouraged.

At NTVS, we encourage further education and offer at least 1 week of continuing education per year to our veterinary staff. We will send staff to courses and conferences to help further their skills and knowledge in a variety of different areas. Special interests are encouraged and we strongly follow best practice and evidence based medicine.

Alice Springs is a bustling town and far from being in the middle of nowhere. It has an extremely well serviced airport to all major capital cities, loads of shops, café’s, restaurants, schools, sports and cultural activities. Just a 2 hour flight to Darwin and most places. It is surrounded by many national parks some of them internationally renown including Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Kings Canyon, Palm Valley and the Larrapinta Trail. Its magnificent landscapes lend themselves to an active outdoors lifestyle. Major festivals and events include the Finke Desert Race, Masters Games, Henley-on-Todd Regatta, Camel Cup, and Alice Desert Festival to name a few.

Salary:
We are offering a generous salary package of up to $214k (commensurate with experience). Total annual leave and days off of up to 15 weeks per year (4 weeks annual leave, 1+ week study leave and accumulated RDO’s) leaves plenty of time for exploring the area, visits interstate or overseas holidays. Salary sacrifice options are also available for rent and other items which can help maximise your after tax income.

LETHBRIDGE, OUTSIDE GEELONG, VIC - EQUINE New Graduates welcome New Position

Equine Veterinarian – Golden Plains Equine, Lethbridge VIC

Golden Plains Equine (GPE) is a progressive six-veterinarian equine practice based in Lethbridge, Victoria. We are looking for another equine veterinarian to join our team, replacing a clinician within the practice.

New and recent graduates are very welcome to apply, as are experienced equine veterinarians looking for a long-term position within a supportive and well-equipped practice.

About GPE

GPE provides equine surgery, medicine, reproduction, sports medicine and ambulatory care. Our diverse caseload ranges from Clydesdales to miniature ponies and includes racing and breeding stock, performance and sport horses, pleasure horses and everything in between.

Our hospital is situated on approximately 80 acres and is one of the largest private equine facilities in Victoria. It includes stabling for up to 28 horses, isolation facilities, extensive yards and paddocks, surgical facilities and foaling facilities under lights and 24-hour camera surveillance. We have modern diagnostic imaging and the equipment expected of a first-class equine hospital.

Please click here to see photos! photos

Surgery & Hospital Caseload

GPE has a busy surgical and hospital caseload, with procedures performed under general anaesthesia, intravenous anaesthesia and standing sedation.

Cases include arthroscopy, colic and upper airway surgery, cryptorchids, fracture repair, angular limb correction, joint and tendon sheath lavages, kissing spine surgery, implant removal, wound repair, ophthalmic procedures, sequestrum surgery and geldings.

The majority of our surgical caseload is performed by boarded equine surgeon Dr Simon Pearce, and visiting specialists regularly utilise our hospital.

This provides excellent exposure for veterinarians wanting to develop skills in surgery, anaesthesia, imaging, medicine, lameness or emergency care.

Reproduction & Foal Medicine

GPE has a substantial reproductive caseload servicing numerous studs and breeding clients. Our work includes fresh, chilled and frozen AI, embryo collection for ET, hysteroscopy and laparoscopic reproductive procedures.

We foal down approximately 30–50 mares on-site each season, providing considerable exposure to neonatal medicine, sick foals, dystocias and associated medical and surgical emergencies.

Ambulatory Practice

Our busy ambulatory service covers Southern Victoria, including Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Central Highlands, Goldfields, Werribee, Melton, Colac and everywhere in between.

Field veterinarians are well supported by experienced colleagues, skilled nursing staff, advanced diagnostic equipment and our hospital. This allows us to provide a high standard of care while ensuring our veterinarians are not left managing challenging cases in isolation.

On-Site Accommodation Opportunity

For applicants interested in living on-site, we can provide a fully furnished three-bedroom, two-bathroom brick home on the clinic property at no cost.

Living on-site provides a unique opportunity, particularly for a new or recent graduate, to become immersed in a busy equine hospital and rapidly develop clinical confidence and practical skills while surrounded by experienced veterinarians and skilled staff.

There are some additional responsibilities associated with residing on-site, which can be discussed with applicants.

Importantly, living on-site is not a requirement. Applicants who live locally or prefer their own accommodation are equally encouraged to apply.

The Position

We are looking for a veterinarian who is passionate about equine practice, enjoys working within a team and ideally wants to become a long-term part of GPE.

We strongly support continuing education and professional development, with opportunities to develop particular interests in sports medicine and lameness, surgery, medicine, reproduction, anaesthesia and imaging.

Our after-hours commitment is relatively light for equine practice, with approximately one weeknight on call per week and one weekend every six weeks, allowing for a good work-life balance.

A work vehicle is provided.

If this sounds like the type of equine practice you would like to be part of, we would love to hear from you.
