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.
- Are you “worth” well over $125k/annum but currently settling for less?

- Do you want to practice in a purpose built, well equipped practice?
- Do you also want to do the fun stuff- camping out bush, routine visits to places like Kings Canyon and Uluru, kangaroos (we provide services to the Kangaroo Sanctuary of Kangaroo Dundee fame), wombats, reptiles, birds, emus and camels can be your patients.
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.

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.
Continuing Education: 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.

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.

SHEPPARTON, GOULBURN VALLEY VIC - EQUINE SURGEON
Equine Surgeon Wanted – Come for the Colics, Stay for the Cases (and Maybe the Koalas)
Location: Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital, Victoria, Australia
Position: Equine Surgeon
We’re on the lookout for a capable, collaborative equine surgeon to join our developing team at GVEH. You’ll need to be confident managing emergency surgeries when they arise—think colics, septic joints, traumatic wounds—but that’s just one part of the bigger picture.
This role offers a varied and rewarding caseload, from thorough orthopaedic workups and elective procedures to racehorse and sport horse management—and yes, the occasional donkey. Our ideal candidate enjoys the full scope of equine surgical care and is keen to grow alongside a multidisciplinary team.
Whether you’re dreaming of a permanent move to beautiful regional Victoria, or seeking a few months of meaningful work (and a bit of adventure), we’re open-minded. Let’s find what works for both of us—and maybe, just maybe, the start of something longer-term will blossom.
Who We Are:
Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital is a multidisciplinary referral clinic, home to specialists in surgery, internal medicine, emergency & critical care, reproduction, and dentistry. We’re also a teaching hospital, hosting DVM4 rotations from the University of Melbourne, with a strong focus on fostering a rich learning environment—for students and staff alike.
Please click here to see photos!
What We’re Looking For:
- A veterinarian with surgical training and experience
- Confidence in handling equine emergencies independently or with minimal guidance.
- A strong interest in contributing to elective and referral cases across the full surgical spectrum.
- Bonus points for enthusiasm in orthopaedic diagnostics and lameness workups.
- A team player who values collaboration and ongoing learning.
What We Offer:
- A supportive, specialist-led environment with a culture of teamwork and education.
- A diverse caseload with plenty of opportunities to develop your skills.
- Flexibility—whether you’re looking for a short-term gig or a permanent change.
- A clinic in growth mode—meaning there’s room for your ideas, input, and ambition.
Let’s be honest—no one moves to Australia just for the colics. But if you’re ready for a new professional challenge in a place that values your expertise and your growth, this might be your perfect next chapter.
