MARBURG/ANSTEAD, LOCKYER VALLEY/BRISBANE WEST, QLD - EQUINE

Full-Time Equine Veterinarian

WestVETS Equine Hospital | Brisbane, QLD

Ready for a caseload that never lets you get bored?

Picture this: one morning you're floating teeth on a pleasure horse in the paddock, that afternoon you're scoping an upper airway in the hospital, and by evening you're out on an after-hours colic call under the stars.

That's life at WestVETS. We're a predominantly equine practice split across two purpose-built sites — our main hospital at Anstead and a 65-acre Equine Reproduction Centre at Marburg — and we're looking for a vet who wants real variety, real mentorship, and a real career, not just a job. Candidates with an interest in hobby farm animals such as camelids, small ruminants and cattle may find this role particularly appealing — though large animal work is not a requirement of the role.

Please click here to see photos!

The Work

First-opinion ambulatory work, with a strong focus on preventative healthcare and performance dentistry
Lameness workups and performance consults
Sport horse and geriatric medicine
Emergencies that keep you sharp — colic, choke, ophthalmology, lacerations
After-hours hospital and ambulatory cases
Hobby farm animal work depending on experience level and comfort with mentorship supplied.

Roughly 80% of our ambulatory caseload is sport and pleasure horse cases — warmbloods, quarter horses, pleasure horses — while hospital and referral work is a 50/50 mix of racing and non-racing.

Who We're After

Experienced equine vets welcome — we also welcome veterinarians straight out of an internship.
Curious, driven, and keen to grow across medicine, surgery, reproduction and lameness
A strong communicator who puts patient care first
In it for the long haul, with an eye on real career progression
Holds, or is eligible to hold, current QLD veterinary registration

You Won't Be Figuring This Out Alone

Our clinicians bring over 100 years of combined experience between them, spanning surgery, internal medicine, sports medicine, reproduction and stud medicine — including specialists in surgery and internal medicine. Case discussion is part of our culture, not an afterthought. Ask questions. Get answers. Grow.

We back that up with:

VetPD courses and AVA/EVA continuing education
A fortnightly journal club at Anstead
The Altano Network and Altano Academy
CoVet AI scribe access
Study time and financial support toward further qualifications

The Kit

Surgical theatre, ICU stables, isolation facilities, an in-house lab (SAA, Wellness Ready Insulin, urinalysis), and in-house ProStride, Alpha-2 Macroglobulin, Shockwave and Class IV laser therapy. On the diagnostics side: digital radiography, ultrasound, gastroscopy/endoscopy, dynamic upper airway endoscopy, oroscope and Equinosis Lameness Locator.

What's In It for You

Competitive salary, above industry award and matched to your experience
A 4.5-day working week
1-in-4 after-hours roster with afterhour bonuses
A day in lieu for every weekend day you're on call
Continuing education allowance
Real support for further qualifications and career growth
WestVETS Anstead is located 30 minutes from Brisbane CBD and Brisbane International Airport which means you get the benefit of working on horses but still enjoy city amenities!
Brisbane is home to 2032 Olympics and a great place to live and work!

Come join our amazing equine team

Vets On Riverbank has a vacancy for a primarily equine vet based out of our new purpose-built clinic in Otaki.

You would be joining a vibrant, enthusiastic team of 6 equine vets and 5 veterinary technicians with lovely clients, most of whom are highly motivated pleasure horse owners with some racehorse and stud work thrown in. There is a wealth of experience and amazing team spirit.

We are motivated to keep our vets keen and help them keep up with the latest CPD and equipment, including high-quality dental equipment, multiple x-ray units including a DR, ultrasound, a videoscope, shockwave, as well as a portable endoscope.

ALICE SPRINGS, NT - SMALL ANIMAL/EQUINE

Salary Package: up to $214,000 dependent on experience (Base Salary up to $165,000 + relocation expenses + bonuses and entitlements)

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 $130k/annum but currently settling for less?
Are you having to sacrifice work-life balance to pay the bills? Would 4 day weeks or having 15 weeks per year leave on top of a real salary make life more fun?
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.

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.

Please click here to see photos!

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.

The Position:
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.

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. Special interests are encouraged and we strongly follow best practice and evidence based medicine.

The Town:
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.

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.

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

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.
