About The Area
The Central Coast of NSW is a rapidly growing area. Green Point is located at the southern end of the Central Coast (Gosford area) and provides an enviable lifestyle being surrounded by nature with beaches, waterways and National Parks. It offers a lifestyle which is more relaxed and affordable than Sydney but Sydney is within an easy commute (approx. 35 minutes by car or there are regular train services) and Newcastle is just over an hour away. I moved to the Central Coast for my first job after graduation and love the area – its only downfall, finding a café for a coffee after about 1600 in the afternoon.
If you have any questions or would like to apply please contact Sarah on sarahliddane@hotmail.com or call/text 0417 244 806. All discussions and applications will be completely confidential.

This is why I became a vet, and why I still enjoy my career. To be able to make a big difference in peoples lives by doing what I love. Over each furry lifespan, I have seen how much they enrich people’s lives, helping them through hardships & family loss, being there for them during times of depression, giving unconditional love, loyalty and company to the lonely, as well as being security and fun to so many kids and parents alike. I have had the honor to be part of this journey, entrusted with something so precious, which has made my profession so rewarding to me. I still get choked up at those farewell moments, because I still care, and always will.

CENTRAL COAST - SMALL ANIMAL MOBILE VET New Position
Would you like the freedom of being out on the road seeing clients instead of stuck within the confines of a clinic everyday? Would you like to earn well above average clinic rates and have a veterinary assistant/chauffeur as your side kick? Then come work with Dr Lloyd’s Mobile VetCARE!!
Working as a mobile vet on the glorious Central Coast of NSW has many perks, not least are the grateful clients & being able to manage your time to suit your schedule.
You will need to have enough confidence and experience to work in the home setting so having at least a couple of years of experience under your belt is necessary. This is a casual position so an ABN and vehicle in good working order is required. The vet would be working on their own with a veterinary assistant/nurse. The vet will take payment mostly, sometimes the consultants are paid for beforehand if is an euthanasia.
We do virtually everything that can be done in a normal clinic consultation apart from emergency cases (we refer to local emergency hospitals) but occasionally we get a call for an urgent euthanasia which we do our best to fit, so being organised is a great asset! More complicated cases will be referred to a clinic or specialist for further work up, but they can always call/message me if needed.
We have worked hard to achieve our 5-star rating & strive very hard to maintain it so am looking for someone who dearly loves working with animals (mainly dogs & cats but occasionally birds but only if you want to), enjoys building rapport with clients and is driven to provide a 5 star service. There is potential future use of a company car, & all medications & equipment are supplied by us.
Looking for part-time work, even 1/2 days if that is what suits you best, starting early or finishing late - flexibility is the key in trying to achieve a work-life balance in this industry!

About us:
Lachlan Valley Vets is a true mixed practice looking to expand our veterinary team and fill the position of one of our vets who is retiring gallantly after 25+ years of owning and practicing at the clinic. We are looking to fill two positions for a mixed practice clinician and a small animal clinician.

This is a new graduate friendly practice, and we pride ourselves on mentoring new grads properly. Work life balance is important to our team and mental health is a priority.
We will cater to any interest as this is a genuine mixed practice. Services offered include equine reproduction, cattle, sheep and goat herd health, plus international export of livestock from 5 different facilities, as well as a broad array of small animal medicine and surgical cases, including but not limited to reptiles, birds and native wildlife. We are also involved in community desexing programs with the RSPCA.
We are continually updating our facilities and are well equipped with digital radiology, in-house blood machines, large and small animal ultrasounds, Reproscan®, equine endoscope and an equine power float. There is the opportunity to work up difficult medical and surgical cases in-house however we can refer to specialty hospitals in Wagga Wagga, Canberra and Sydney.
We have a purpose-built branch clinic in Grenfell, NSW which is open Tuesday each week.
We have incredible support staff with a wide variety of experience and skills. Our nurses are well trained, supportive and are capable of working in teams and independently.
We are a locally owned family business, so if you are looking for support and encouragement from the ground level where you will be working side-by-side with the owners, this job is for you. Our team is like a family, with your work/life balance and mental health a high priority. If you have a family, we understand (and also survive) the chaos that goes along with parenting and are flexible with school pickups and sick children. We want to keep vets in the industry and that means a work/life balance that is flexible and supportive.
We have a coffee van that religiously pulls up at the clinic weekday mornings. Don’t worry if you don’t have a chance to get a caffeine hit before you come to work because it will be delivered with a smile! We also like to try and engage in a communal lunch on Thursdays with an order from the local bakery or pub. This gives us the chance for all staff to catch up, debrief and socialise.
Our team values good communication, often working up cases together. This is helped by our office being laid out so all vets can discuss cases, look at radiographs and easily converse with each other.
About the position:
4 day working week with a dedicated day off. For special occasions it can be arranged to occur on a Friday for a long weekend.
On call load is light and will be shared as 1 in 3 or 1 in 4.

We have two positions available at the moment. If you are happy to work with all species, that’s excellent, but we are also looking for a small animal vet so if you don’t like sheep, goats, cows and horses you can stay in the clinic with the smallies. If you don’t have confidence with livestock but would like to build up that confidence, this is the job for you.

BOMADERRY, SOUTH COAST SHOALHAVEN - MIXED OR SMALL ANIMAL
Bomaderry Veterinary Hospital is growing again! We are looking to add another Veterinarian to our team. You could be a Small Animal Vet looking for a Country lifestyle or a Mixed Practitioner wanting to treat Dairy Cows and Horses. Full Time, Part Time or job share. Drop us a line! We would consider sponsoring a vet from overseas who is the right candidate; one who is eligible to work in Australia and intends to stay and enjoy our relaxed lifestyle.
Bomaderry Veterinary Hospital consists of the main Hospital, a purpose-built multimillion dollar building, opened in August 2022. The Culburra branch is also housed in a purpose-built hospital, whilst the second branch is a long-standing facility in Shoalhaven Heads. Vets rotate between the three clinics, with the majority of time spent in the main Hospital.
We currently have 7 full-time vets and 4 part-timers. The team is very collaborative and are genuinely interested in helping each other out with cases. There is a broad spectrum of experience and special interests throughout the practice with experienced Surgeons able to tackle most cases. We are also involved in a large amount of canine reproduction work, performing TCI’s and Caesareans regularly. Orthopaedic cases are generally treated in house. Greyhound cases are also an interesting part of the practice caseload.
We see about 30% large animals, mainly consisting of pleasure horses, small ruminants and Beef and Dairy cattle. There is regular Cattle Pregnancy testing and Herd Health work undertaken.
Being two hours from the nearest referral facility, we manage most of our work in house, but when needed, we have dedicated owners who are willing to refer. We have plenty of equipment to help us provide the upmost patient care, including Digital Radiography, full suite of in-house IDEXX equipment (Procyte Dx, Catalyst DX, Coag, SediVue DX, VetStat), Rigid and Flexible Video Endoscopy, Colour Doppler Ultra-sound, and iM3 Dental equipment, etc.
Please click here to see photos!
We also have a full set of Surgery Toys to play with for use in Orthopaedic procedures, MMP/TTA, TPLO, Locking Plating kits, Ridgestop Patella repair kit etc.
Fully stocked large animal/on call vehicles are provided and shared between the vets.
We have dedicated receptionist staff and veterinary nurses. Core nursing staff are highly trained and efficient, and we also have new and recently qualified nurses who are already amazing and are receiving excellent training from the team.
The vets’ roster is based around a 4-day working week, and after working a weekend, you have a 4-day weekend. After hours are shared evenly between the full-time vets, and we utilise the Medechat Vet 24/7 service to minimise call. Weekends are staffed by 2 vets, who share the on-call work. This means you are never on call more than one night in a row!
We also have a nursing on-call roster, so help is always available if needed. Renumeration is paid at an above Award hourly rate, and you are well compensated for any overtime, which is generally not excessive.
Bomaderry is located on the sunny South Coast of NSW, on the northern side of the Shoalhaven River, about 2 hours south of Sydney, 20 minutes from pristine Jervis Bay and the surf beaches of Culburra and Shoalhaven Heads. Looking westwards the surrounding State and National parks offer camping, climbing and bushwalking. We have a multitude of good schools, several large private and government employment bases, good sporting facilities and lots of cultural opportunities.
Applicants are very welcome to discuss the position with existing employees or the practice owner Dr Neal Johnson.

COWRA, CENTRAL WEST - MIXED ANIMAL
MIXED PRACTICE VETERINARIAN
About the Position:
Are you looking for:
- A highly supportive team environment?
- A workplace that encourages growth and nurtures special interests?
- A well-equipped and purpose-built clinic?
Then please keep reading!
We at Cowra Vet Centre are passionate about providing high standards of veterinary care to our patients and the best possible service to our clients. We pride ourselves on being animal welfare advocates for our patients large and small, by being their voice and recommending everything they need.
Sound good? Then we would like you to join the team at Cowra Veterinary Centre.
Due to ongoing growth in our business, the arrival of babies and our determination to be a family-friendly and mental-health friendly employer, we need more help. We are flexible about the position being full time or part time; we are also flexible about employing an experienced veterinarian or a new graduate and will negotiate salary accordingly.
About Us:
Cowra Veterinary Centre is a 2.5-vet rural mixed practice located in the central west of NSW. We moved into our new purpose-built clinic close to three years ago, so everything is very well designed, new and works really well.
Our caseload is approximately 3/4 small animal and 1/4 large animal (beef cattle, horses, sheep, dairy cattle). We are open 5.5 days per week and offer a 24-hour emergency service. We run a branch practice in a nearby town two afternoons per week.
We have a small, happy, and harmonious team with 6 vets (1 full time; 5 part time) and 10 nurses/receptionists (3 full time; 7 part time). We are well equipped with inhouse IDEXX (Catalyst and ProCyte), digital radiography, ultrasound, IM3 Elite unit (with dental x-ray to come) and have invested in excellent anaesthesia monitoring including ETCo2, ECG, temperature control and supportive therapy.
We have also recently invested in Equine dentistry equipment including Powerfloat and mobile crush as well as a mobile ultrasound machine for equine reproduction.
Please click here to see photos!
We believe in the importance of a good work-life balance (work to live, not live to work) so operate on a 4 day work week roster for our vets and nurses. We encourage positive mental health practices and continuing education for all staff. Cowra Veterinary Centre is a member of the Lincoln Institute Lead to Succeed training program.
Testimonial:
I recently undertook a placement at Cowra Veterinary Centre as a final year vet student.
The practice is an impressive custom built facility, fitted out and equipped out with digital x-ray, ultrasound, dental float, power tools, in house biochemistry and a fantastic microscope that is regularly serviced. This is a busy practice with a truly mixed caseload of large animals (cattle, sheep, goats, equine), small animals and a sizeable amount of wildlife.
The team dynamic at the practice was the best I have experienced all year, with welcoming, experienced and supportive nurses and veterinarians across all ages. Morale was always high - with a guaranteed lunch break each day and staff that prioritise mental health of their employees. A new graduate would be highly supported, mentored and welcomed into the local community.
As a student I found it a highly supportive environment where I was given freedom to practice and improve surgical and clinical skills without pressure or judgement. I was included in discussions and felt a valued member of the team. This would be an amazing position for a new graduate who is looking for a supportive transition into their career, or who is happy to work more independently with backup when required. Lucy Wilson - Veterinary Student

TAMWORTH, NEW ENGLAND REGION - SMALL ANIMAL 
Marius Veterinary Clinic, a small animal practice in the NSW regional town of Tamworth, is looking for a full time or part time vet to join our team.
We are looking for someone who is keen to work in a well established family oriented practice with a good loyal clientele some of whom have been with the practice since its inception in 1999 and have therefore developed a strong relationship with the clinic and staff.
The workplace has a warm, friendly relaxed atmosphere and though not essential it certainly helps to have a good sense of humour. The veterinarians are supported by qualified caring nurses three of whom have been with the practice for over 10 years.
We are an eclectic group of individuals with a vast personal experience with a variety of species. The boss is almost a crazy cat lady who actually likes ferrets and the current “clinic family” pets includes dogs, cats, horses, sheep, parrots, chickens and a couple of pythons.
Ours is an inclusive workplace and all members of the team are involved in the development of practice policies and protocols. The practice manager and owner are currently enrolled with the Lincoln Institute so they can improve their management and leadership skills and so each member of the team knows what is expected of them and has the ability to pursue their professional goals and achieve their full potential.
Please click here to see photos!
From Tom, who joined our veterinary team in February 2021:
“I would like to share my perspective as a recent graduate working here. The clinic has a great emphasis on family and work life balance. While working here I really feel a sense of family and close-knit bonds with the staff that you do not often get elsewhere. Robyn and Bonnie in particular strive hard to assure that everyone has good mental health.
Most of all, our clientele is very supportive and friendly, which helps with the difficult things we often have to do as animal health workers and make us feel essential in the community.
There are frequent collaborations between all the veterinary clinics in the area and in the past I have personally had the opportunity to observe and assist in referral surgeries in the referring practice.
In regard to living in Tamworth I have found the people are generally more friendly and accepting than in other regional areas I have visited. I have found Tamworth has all the amenities of a bigger city but with the rural friendliness of a small town.”
The clinic is 100% small animal with a significant number of exotic/pocket pets and wildlife cases.
We are well equipped with all the equipment you would expect would be required in a modern small animal practice.
Working hours can be flexible with reasonable terms as we understand the importance of work life balance and family.
There is no scheduled after hours or weekend consulting. This is provided by the emergency referral hospital which is less than 15km from the practice and can provide intensive care treatment, advanced diagnostics such as CT scanning and support with difficult or challenging medical and surgical cases.
We are fully computerized with current Rxworks software.
Our opening hours are Monday to Wednesday and Friday 8.30am to 5.30pm and Thursday 8.30am to 7pm. During daylight savings Mondays are extended to 7pm as well. We are closed for an hour every day for lunch.
Tamworth has excellent medical, educational and sporting facilities. There are opportunities to engage in a number of clubs and societies including the Dramatic and musical societies and the Science and Astronomy Club.
For those who love the outdoors there are plenty of camping locations, recreational parks and dams; and of course a myriad of equine related activities for all disciplines (if you are a crazy horse person like some of our team).
New and recent graduates are encouraged to apply for the position. New graduates will be given full support and mentorship by our senior veterinarians. There may also be the opportunity for purchase or ownership of the practice in the near future for an interested applicant.
To find out more about the position or for a confidential discussion regarding employment options please contact Dr Robyn Edleston on 0267667228 or email: robyn@mariusvet.com.au

Please click here to see photos!
We are looking for a recent graduate vet. There is a mentoring program in place to ensure recent graduates receive as much support as they need. Vets at the practice have 55 years of experience between them, and the nurses have even more!

BROADMEADOW, NEWCASTLE WEST - SMALL ANIMAL
Veterinarian Required – New Lambton Veterinary Clinic
Six years ago we opened our purpose built premises in Lambton Road Broadmeadow with a dream to expand our small clinic, our clinical skills and our access to amazing equipment, while preserving our close longstanding client and patient relationships. We knew that architecture has a direct influence on happiness levels and we put a lot of thought into the fit out, resulting in large spaces, lots of internal windows, and easy clean surfaces with lots of storage space!
Fast track to 2021 – we have grown into a 12-14 member team, still providing personalised and high quality medical and surgical care to our small animal patients as we have for over 20 years. We are definitely still a family focused clinic, treating our staff and clients like part of our extended family and advocating for pets as “your best friend’s best friends”.
We have an opportunity within our team for an experienced veterinarian. This is a full time position including every second Saturday mornings, with the clinic open from 8.30am to 6pm weekdays and 8.30am to 1pm on Saturday.
What sets us apart?
- We support a healthy work-life balance, which we achieve through advanced notice in rostering, regular rostered days off to allow you to plan in advance. Leaving on time at the end of the day is a priority.
- We care about your health and wellbeing – an Employee Assistance Program (including confidential counselling and support) is available free of charge to all staff members.
- Team unity and ongoing training is important to us – to help us achieve this we have fortnightly team meetings and training where phones are turned off for the duration of the meeting.
- We have a great team of veterinarians and veterinary nurses who genuinely enjoy coming to work. There aren’t many industries like ours where we feel like we are making a difference every single day to the life of our patients and also their human owners.
Of course we are looking for all the normal qualities of a great veterinarian, but the following skills specific to this role include:
- Commitment to lifelong education and a readiness to share your knowledge.
- Commitment to teamwork.
- Ability to maintain composed and calm in a busy environment. We are a small but close knit team who feed off each other’s energy, so we need you to stay calm in busy and challenging periods. There will always be support (we roster 2 veterinarians and 4-5 support team every day) ..however staying unflappable is a must.
- An eye for detail and the ability to juggle multiple tasks.
- Ability to build rapport quickly with owners is important; we want you to form relationships with the clients and their pets.

JERRYS PLAINS, HUNTER REGION - EQUINE New Position
VETERINARIAN POSITION IN MAINLY EQUINE PRACTICE, HUNTER VALLEY NEW SOUTH WALES.
A position is available in a mainly equine stud practice with a large amount of ambulatory general equine practice plus some general small animal and a small amount of farm work (about 1%).
THE LOCATION
The practice is centrally situated in the Hunter Valley giving ready access to the stud farms of the Upper Hunter, non-thoroughbred farms throughout the Hunter as well as the Upper Hunter race tracks.
The area is a particularly beautiful area, given that the presence of the coal mines makes it a relatively wealthy part of country N.S.W. Recreational facilities are excellent and access to the many wineries, bush walking and the new expressway puts the cities of Newcastle, Sydney and Dubbo in easy reach as well as the beaches of the North and Central coasts.
Normally this would have been considered a 3 vet practice as it was recently and should become so again in the coming breeding season. In addition to these there is a lay staff of 2 permanent office staff and 2 casual or part time workers as veterinary nursing aides.
Labour shortages mainly resulting from Covid-19 restrictions led to the practice being run short staffed. This resulted in a contraction of some services.
Please click here to see photos!
THE PRACTICE
Originally the practice functioned in Jerry’s Plains as a primarily equine reproduction practice also fulfilling a general veterinary practice role in the local area.
As a result of the current staff shortages. temporarily no small animal surgery is carried out at present although the facilities remain and the license to do both large and small animal surgeries is retained.
The reduction of cattle properties in the immediate area has removed large scale cattle work although for all the above services there remains a great demand, but their reduction has enabled the business to run satisfactorily with a minimum of stress. There is an opportunity to expand these services if required.
The practice is well equipped; most things are less than 2 years old including ultrasound machines, Eklin digital radiography and a well-equipped laboratory that provides haematology, bacteriology, paracyte worm counts, reproduction services including semen analysis etc.
Advanced surgical facilities are available with three surgical centres with specialist surgeons on call for colic surgery, orthopaedic work. Caesareans etc.
An overseas graduate studying for their National Veterinary Exam would be considered.
Salary and conditions negotiable depending on experience.

FORBES, CENTRAL WEST - MIXED 
Forbes Veterinary Clinic
Central-West NSW
Mixed Practice Vet – New Grad or Experienced
We asked, listened and acted – enjoy the new & improved in-depth Forbes Vet Clinic ad!
What’s the workload?
We are a typical rural mixed practice with 60-70% smalies and 30-40% largies load. We encourage all our staff to become good all-round rural GP vets. If you have a particular species or subject you enjoy working with we can nurture you in that direction too. Our regular jobs for all our vets (including new grads) include:
- Cattle: Preg testing (manual & ultrasound), bull testing, calvings, individual and herd health
- Horses: Preg testing, lameness, colic, stitch ups
- Dogs & cats: vax, consults, medicine, surgery (soft tissue, orthopaedic, desexing, caesareans), emergency
- Sheep, alpacas, pigs, pocket pets, bird, wildlife, reptiles round out the rest of our patient load
Most of our patient’s needs we are able to fully service but if more complicated things are required we have the option of referral to Canberra (3hrs), Sydney (5hrs), Wagga (2.5hrs) and more experienced vets within 1.5hrs.
What’s the job like for a new grad?
We are new grad friendly! Prove it? We offer competitive, above award base salary plus hourly overtime rates, plus 50% after-hours fees (this can add >$10 000pa).
You lead the way with what you’re comfortable with –
- Want to start with just vaccinations? Deal!
- Want to have 30min vax or 60min ‘all the rest’ consults scheduled? Deal!
- Want to watch another vet do surgeries, or have another vet watch you do surgeries to start with? Deal!
- Want to have a crack at a leg amputation or splenectomy in your first month because you’re feeling good? Deal!
- Don’t want to start on call for at least 3 months? Deal!
- Want your first Christmas guaranteed off to be able to go home and brag about your amazing new career? Deal!
- Want guaranteed back up in person or at the end of the phone by one of your bosses no matter the time of day, night, public holiday, weekend? Deal!
These are all proven things that we can do – ask our current associates who started here as new grads!
How does the day roster work?
We work 4 x 9.5hr days with one week-day off a week. The current position would give you Wednesdays off but can be negotiated. Work 2 days, have a day off, work 2 days – how good!
The vet’s work day schedule:
- 8-9am- morning patient checks
- 9am-12.15pm – consults/largies/surgeries
- 12.30pm-3pm – catch up on notes, procedures collected from the morning, phone calls, lab submissions, lunch break
- 3-5.15pm – consults/largies, 5.30-6.30pm – night patient checks
The actual clinic opening hours are 8.30am – 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 12pm on Saturdays (worked by the on call vet).
How does after hours work?
If you’re a new grad – you won’t be asked to do ANY after hours until you’ve a minimum of 3mths experience, unless you want to start sooner. Before doing on call, you are more than welcome to shadow one of the other vets to learn more skills.
Once you’re feeling comfortable with the new clinic settings our rota is 1 weeknight a week and 1 in 4 weekends. Public Holidays are rotated equal share each year so that means only 1 Christmas every 4 years and 1 Easter every 4 years etc.
You are paid 50% of every consult fee you charge, 50% of professional fees as well (surgery, xrays, board, hospitalisation, large animal visits).
After you do a weekend on call you get the following Friday off as a paid RDO. This gives you 1 in 4 weekends as a long weekend to do as you please.
What are the clients like?
We have friendly clients reflective of our rural community. They understand that some things take time and that we don’t always have the answers immediately but they trust in our dedication to follow up all our cases. Rude, unpleasant clients are not welcome at our clinic and will be redirected when identified!
What are the support staff like?
Each day we have minimum 3 nursing staff on the floor, a dedicated receptionist and a practice manager. There is always at least 2 fully qualified nursing staff who are efficient at IV placement, blood draw & running, radiographs, administering medications (IV, IM, SC), owner communication, surgery admission, patient triage. What can’t they do might be a shorter list? These staff are working alongside 2-3 vets per day.
What’s the workplace like?
It is a proper team. We all have each other’s back and are willing to share information with each other and put our heads together to nut out cases. Nobody leaves at the end of the day feeling the weight on their shoulders of any particular case – we all share the load together. Although it can get stressful like all busy workplaces we get through it with good communication. The gifts of chocolate, biscuits, fruit and muffins from clients and the daily 10.30am coffee van visit to the door probably helps too!
Why is Forbes a good place to live?
Well it depends on who you talk to!
Vet Vanessa – loves the sport options: hockey, netball, touch footy, soccer, tennis, volley-squash are the ones that she participates in! There’s also rugby, AFL, water-skiing and squash.
Vet Amy – loves the equestrian events that are numerous all within a couple of hours drive of Forbes
Nurse Alesha – enjoying seeing the locals each day and building rapport in our community
The community in general is very friendly. The town has 3 primary schools, 2 high schools, a preschool, and numerous day care options. Major shops include 2 supermarkets (inc woollies), kmart hub, bunnings, spotlight, maccas, KFC, subway, dominoes (although the local pizza shop is way better!). Other highlights are the lake in town which everyone loves to walk/run/cycle the 5-10km circuit of; the Lachlan river that’s good for fishing, kayaking and swimming in; town pool; great food options at pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants, bakeries.

If you have a particular species or subject you enjoy working with, we can nurture you in that direction too. Our regular jobs for all our vets (including new grads) include:
- Cattle: Preg testing, calvings, individual and herd health
- Horses: Preg testing, AI, lameness, colic, stitch ups
- Dogs & cats: vax, consults, medicine, surgery (soft tissue, orthopaedic, desexing, caesareans), emergency
- Sheep, alpacas, pocket pets, bird and wildlife round out the rest of our patient load
Most of our patient’s needs we are able to fully service but if more complicated things are required we have the option of referral to Canberra (2hrs), Sydney (4hrs), Wagga (1hr).
You lead the way with what you’re comfortable with –
- Want to start with just vaccinations? Deal!
- Want to watch another vet do surgeries, or have another vet watch you do surgeries to start with? Deal!
- Want to have a crack at a leg amputation or splenectomy in your first month because you’re feeling good? Deal!
- Don’t want to start on call for at least 2 months? Deal!
- Want your first Christmas guaranteed off to be able to go home and brag about your amazing new career? Deal!
- Want guaranteed back up in person or at the end of the phone by one of your bosses no matter the time of day, night, public holiday, weekend? Deal!
These are all proven things that we can do – ask our current associates who started here as new grads!

How does the day roster work?
Our days consist of 8.30am start. 5.30pm finish with a one hour lunch break. Rostered day off each fortnight, making every 2nd weekend a 3 day weekend!
The clinic opening hours are 9am – 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 12pm on Saturdays (worked by the on call vet).
How does after hours work?
If you’re a new grad – you won’t be asked to do ANY after hours until you’ve a minimum of 2mths experience, unless you want to start sooner. Before doing on call, you are more than welcome to shadow one of the other vets to learn more skills.
Once you’re feeling comfortable with the new clinic settings our rota is 1 weeknight a week and 1 in 3 weekends.
What are the clients like?
We have friendly clients reflective of our rural community. They understand that some things take time and that we don’t always have the answers immediately but they trust in our dedication to follow up all our cases. They generally have realistic expectations of patient outcomes. Often they are keen for a catch up when we see them socially.
What are the support staff like?
Each day we have minimum 3 nursing staff on the floor, as well as a practice manager. Nursing staff are well trained, friendly and supportive. There are always at least 2 fully qualified nursing staff who are on hand to help with IV placement, blood draw & running, radiographs, administering medications (IV, IM, SC), owner communication, surgery admission, patient triage. What can’t they do might be a shorter list? These staff are working alongside 2-3 vets per day.
What’s the workplace like?
It is a proper team. We all have each other’s back and are willing to share information with each other and put our heads together to nut out cases. Although it can get stressful like all busy workplaces we get through it with good communication. The gifts of chocolate, biscuits, fruit and muffins from clients and the daily 11am coffee indulgence is a welcome break.
We have a well appointed hospital which has recently undergone extensive expansion and renovation. Consisting of:
- Two surgical theatres
- Three fully equipped consult rooms
- Two large areas dedicated to surgical preparation and medical cases

“I started as a new graduate in 2017 and am only leaving to try my hand overseas! I was never pushed into doing anything I wasn't ready to do and could go at my own pace. The practice owner is super supportive and will still answer my calls even now to provide advice and assistance.
BTW it is an awesome team!! All the nurses are very capable, and they make the job so easy so you can get on with being a vet.
The caseload is varied and interesting. Because of the location, you get to “have a go”, rather than just referring everything …..so skills develop much quicker.

Testimonial
“After spending two weeks at Moss Vale Veterinary Hospital completing a year 2 university placement, my confidence, knowledge and skills increased dramatically. The dedicated staff created a very approachable and encouraging learning environment that allowed me to embrace the experience and leave every day knowing that I had learnt something new. The practice manager, Jess, was very easy to communicate with and her passion for the clinic was evident in her interactions with clients and staff. The wonderful nurses gave me every opportunity to practice my skills and show me the ropes of the clinic. The two vets, Dr. Alex Johnston and Dr. James Blackshaw were great mentors and allowed me to be part of their consults and conduct my own consults, creating countless learning opportunities. In the 2 weeks that I was there, I felt like a valuable member of the team and could not recommend Moss Vale Veterinary Hospital highly enough, as a place to work or to visit as a client.”
