The KSVH Difference: Bringing the Unseen into the Seen - The Mindset Shift.
1. A Truly Tailored Patient Care Approach
- Collaborative Client Relationships: We partner directly with pet owners in the consultation room, walking them through diagnostic and treatment plans so they feel like true collaborators in their pet's health journey.
- Individualized Protocols: From tailored anaesthetic and multimodal pain relief plans to dedicated anxiety-reduction strategies for nervous pets, every treatment plan is crafted around what is best for the specific animal.
- Holistic & Comprehensive Care: We integrate a nutrition focus, titre testing for tailored vaccine approach, and preventive wellness alongside thorough diagnostic workups.
2. Mindset Shift & Behavioural Upskilling
We aren't just focused on clinical skills — we invest heavily in behavioural upskilling through structured programs like Lincoln Institute of Veterinary Leadership's- ‘Leading Edge’ and ‘Emerging Leaders’ to support long-term career longevity and satisfaction.
- Calibrating Our WHY: We move away from price-driven conversations and money blocks. Our focus is on true patient advocacy — helping clients understand the "WHY" behind our gold-standard care so they can make informed, confident decisions for their pets.
- Collaborative Client Relationships: We partner directly with pet owners in the consultation room, using clear communication and emotional resonance to make "the unseen, seen."
- Confident Humility: We cultivate a culture that balances deep clinical competence with openness and continuous learning—allowing you to communicate with confidence, while remaining curious and grounded.
3. High-Level Care
- High Staff-to-Patient Ratio: One-on-one attention and comfort at every moment a patient is in our hospital.
- Dedicated Clinical Attendants (CAs): Experienced CA team members assist directly in consults, preparing diagnostic room setups, taking photos/videos for client updates, and handling discharge and admission breakdowns.
- Structured Appointment Schedules: Time-based appointments (20-minute standard and 30-minute extended consult options) designed to protect flow, ensure thorough work-ups, and safeguard team breaks.
- Protected Development Time: Weekly rostered time allocated for Lincoln Institute Leading Edge video modules, case-study rounds, and peer mentoring sessions.
4. Psychological Safety & Culture of "Safe to Fail"
- High Staff-to-Patient Support: You will never feel stranded. Our high nurse-to-vet ratio ensures you are supported at every step, preventing overload and allowing you to focus on high-level medicine.
- Psychological Safety: We foster a supportive "safe to fail" learning environment with open debriefs, regular check-ins, and structured individual development reviews (IDRs) to build resilience, trust, and job satisfaction.
Who Are You?
- Are you a recent grad with high emotional intelligence? Or an inquisitive open minded senior vet with a willingness to communicate on a whole new level with their team and their clients?
- Are you open and value good communication? Eager to engage in advanced principles in client satisfaction, hone your behavioural leadership skills, and master the perception of value in practice. The outcome? = Excellent patient care!
What We Offer
- Remuneration: A competitive salary package reflecting your experience, backed by annual performance reviews and structured career progression pathways. An uncapped salary is never off the cards when you are truly engaged in delivering the best for your patients and clients.
- Professional Development: Fully funded access to the Lincoln Institute leadership programs, CE allowances, and paid study leave.
- Work-Life Balance: Predictable working rosters with minimal on-call demands, ensuring you have ample time to enjoy the quality of life you deserve.

Remember why you became a vet?
It probably wasn’t for the paperwork, the impossible schedules or the feeling that you’re constantly rushing.

If you’re looking for a clinic where you can rediscover that sense of purpose, we’d love to meet you.

We’re building the kind of practice we’d want to work in ourselves - not the biggest practice, but one where people feel valued, supported and proud of the work they do.

About You
You’ll probably feel at home here if you:
- Bring your whole self to work and genuinely care about your patients, clients and colleagues.
- Take ownership, anticipate what’s needed and look for ways to make things better.
- Value collaboration and know that the best outcomes come from working as a team while being confident working independently.

GOULBURN - SOUTHERN TABLELANDS - SMALL ANIMAL
Looking for Our Third Vet - Goulburn Veterinary Clinic
We're a two-vet small animal clinic in Goulburn looking to welcome a third vet to the team, full-time or part-time. If you want genuinely good GP medicine, time to do it properly, and a team that enjoys working together, we'd love to hear from you.
What we're about
We're a small companion animal clinic, and we care a lot about the environment we work in. As the practice owner and one of the vets, I hold MANZCVS qualifications in Small Animal Practice and take real pride in how we do things here. Our nurses are AVNAT registered, and we're always looking for ways to do our jobs better.
A few things that make day-to-day work here different:
- 30-minute consults as standard. Time to connect with clients, think through cases, and not feel rushed.
- Stress-free, low-stress handling principles for every patient - for their wellbeing and yours.
- A well-equipped clinic. Dental x-ray, modern ultrasound, and the gear you need to practise good medicine.
- Real case variety with room to grow. We see a broad range of small animal GP work and have strong specialist relationships, but we keep a lot of cases in-house - so there's genuine scope to develop your skills and confidence.
Who we're hoping to find
Someone who's keen to keep developing clinically, but who also still loves the variety of GP and the difference you make to people in everyday consults. You work well with nurses and bring a collaborative approach - we are always looking to have each other’s backs and create opportunities for reflection and growth.
New grads through to experienced vets are welcome to apply.
The practical details
- Salary: $80,000 for new grads up to $120,000 for experienced vets, commensurate with experience.
- Flexible hours and rosters. Full-time, part-time, long days, short days, a day off mid-week - let's build something that works for your life.
- Relocation support of up to $3,000, plus help settling in through The Welcome Experience for those moving to the region. (link: https://www.nsw.gov.au/regional-and-primary-industries/makethemove/welcome-experience)
Why Goulburn?
If you're picturing a sleepy country town, think again. Goulburn offers regional affordability and a real sense of community, with Canberra an hour away and Sydney within easy reach for weekends. There's plenty going on - the Aquatic Centre, the Performing Arts Centre, local sport, and national parks right on the doorstep. (And yes, we have The Big Merino.)

Let's chat

WARREN, ORANA REGION, CENTRAL WEST NSW - MIXED
CALLING ALL RECENT GRADS - THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS!
- Ready for your next adventure?
- Feel like you’ve learnt what you can from your current clinic?
- Not sure exactly where you want to go next but know you want to get out of the clinic more?
- Worried you might get less support now you’re not a new grad and want to make sure your next clinic is still really supportive?
- But also where you can be challenged and continue to learn and grow?
- Want to work with the best clients in the world?
Then there is an opportunity here for you...
We (Andrew Robertson ‘Robbo’ & Erica Kennedy ‘EK’) have been clinic owners for 6 years now. Robbo ventured south as a new grad (JCU) in 2015 and EK joined the fun after doing a mix of mixed practice and government field work since graduating from JCU in 2013. We are joined by the absolute rockstar Steph Archer (CSU 2019) who has been with us since 2022 and is a brilliant all round mixed practitioner. We are also soon to be joined by Paris who is a 2026 JCU grad and is one of the handiest students we’ve had do prac. She will be a fantastic new grad and will really fit in well with the team.
We are bringing a fresh and positive approach to practice ownership have a clear vision of what we want to create:
- A place where being a Vet is fun and professionally rewarding
- A tight knit team where we have each other’s backs
- A place where you can learn and grow (professionally and personally) through mentorship and training. We love discussing and sharing cases to achieve the best outcome for all involved - including us! We each have areas of veterinary practice in which we have extensive knowledge - which means there is usually one of us that can help to nut out a case or know the best course of action.
If being appreciated and well paid are important...
If working in a team where you always feel like the more experienced vets genuinely care and want to help you with a case sounds good...
Then read on!
Who are we looking for?
You will be perfect for our team if...
- You love the cut and thrust of mixed practice (even if you’ve mainly been stuck in the clinic at your new grad job). There is so much opportunity to hit the road and tackle any number of large animal jobs across our service area if that interests you!
- You have a good sense of humour and can enjoy yourself.
- You pride yourself on building excellent relationships with your clients (as valued community members and friends. We are so highly valued by many of our clients that they see us as much more than ‘just the vet’, we are genuinely like family. This is incredibly rewarding - there is nothing like feeling your clients have 100% trust and confidence in you but that they will have your back should things not work out or go to plan.
- You’re keen to learn and give things a go (with help and guidance of course)! We live by the motto see one, do one, teach one... We try really hard to make sure your first time doing something isn’t when you’re flying solo... And if having a co-pilot for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time is what you need we are there to help you out.
Tell me more you say...
Our primary clinic is in Warren but we also have a home in Nyngan and service two extremely well supported satellite clinics in Tottenham and Trangie each fortnight.
Our clients are the best! Predominantly they are beef and sheep producers and small animal owners. They really appreciate having a local Vet. They love us and we love them!
And what about the cases?
With the smallies we do it all with a heavy focus on preventative medicine. We punch above our weight in terms of practicing high quality medicine, and that’s really important to us.
We see lots of farm accidents...
Think broken legs/torn tendons in sheep yards, mangled feet in motorbike chains, hay forks through abdomens, you name it and we’ve probably treated it or are about to...
We have the capacity to tackle orthopaedics in house but have the option to refer medical and surgical cases to specialists in Tamworth, Sydney and Wagga Wagga.
We also love being outside, not just to top up our VitD levels but to work with proactive producers to improve the productivity and profitability of their flock/herd. A day out could include: bull testing, preg testing, disease investigation, ambulatory horse work, mare reproduction, calvings, vaccinating some farm dogs etc.
If you love variety, we got bucketloads!
If you want to check out where we work and who we are...
Please click here to see photos!
What’s in it for you?
We are keen to create a package that suits you (we know one size doesn’t always fit all).
We are not just saying this because it sounds good...
We genuinely care about the happiness and fulfillment of our vets. You can be confident that we appreciate and reward our team for high quality and dedicated work. Life-work balance is our priority because long term, we want this to be a place you don’t want to leave.
Salary package including afterhours and super ranges from $110k-170k based on recent vet earnings.
Gym/sporting/other membership paid yearly. Conference/cpd allowance roughly $1500 per year but we love investing in our vets if there is something you’re really keen on.
Afterhours roster is 1 in 4 and we are nearly always around to help-out (especially for a new/recent grad).
And it’s not like we are in the middle of nowhere!
Warren is an agricultural town. There are heaps of young people either on properties or who work at businesses that service the Ag Industry (like ours). Between playing/watching footy, going to the pub/balls/races, having a hit of social tennis or throwing a netball around you’ll meet heaps of great people.
Dubbo is an hour away and has everything you need. The airport services Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne daily and we think it’s important that everyone gets away regularly.
Got some more questions?
Give us a call anytime to have a chat. We would love to have a yarn about whether we might be just what you’re looking for!
For all enquires please phone Andrew (Robbo) on 0429 808 814 or Erica on 0433 490 580 or forward your resume to info@wrvg.com.au

MURRAY RIVER - ECHUCA - SMALL ANIMALS - GRADUATE PROGRAM 2027 New Position
Graduate Companion Animal Veterinarian
Echuca & Moama Veterinary Clinic | Echuca, Victoria
Rather know everyone you work with than get lost in a huge hospital?
At Echuca & Moama Veterinary Clinic, you'll join a close knit, community focused companion animal practice where people genuinely work together.
The clinic has a loyal, long standing client base and a team that prides itself on being approachable, collaborative and supportive, with a strong focus on providing great veterinary care while maintaining balance outside work.
For a new graduate who wants to build strong companion animal foundations, know the people around them and have experienced vets and nurses there to support them, Echuca is a pretty great place to start.
Why Echuca?
Sometimes smaller is exactly what you want when you're starting your career.
You'll work alongside experienced veterinarians and a capable nursing and reception team, giving you people around you to ask questions, discuss cases with and learn from as your confidence grows.
The team includes experience in small animal surgery and canine rehabilitation, giving you the opportunity to learn alongside vets with established areas of expertise.
Rather than expecting you to know everything on day one, we want to help you build your clinical skills, decision making and confidence at a pace that works for you.
A graduate position where your nurses are part of the team
One of the things we particularly like about the way Echuca works is its approach to nursing support.
Nurses are actively involved in helping the day run smoothly, allowing you to focus more of your attention on your patients and clients. The clinic also places a genuine emphasis on work life balance.
As a new graduate, you'll have the opportunity to build your skills across an interesting and varied companion animal caseload and develop your own clinical interests as your experience grows. An interest in dentistry would be particularly welcomed by the team.
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what type of companion animal vet you want to become. That's part of what your graduate year is for.
Please click here to see photos!
What you'll receive
- Above award salary
- Relocation assistance
- One-week paid study leave each year
- Veterinary registration paid
- $1,000 towards professional memberships and subscriptions
- Structured graduate development and ongoing CPD
- Employee Assistance Program
- Staff discounts on veterinary products and services
- Retail, travel and gym discounts
- Four weeks annual leave
- Five days paid volunteer leave
Your working week
The full time position is worked as a nine day fortnight, giving you a rostered day off each fortnight.
The clinic shares after hours responsibilities across the veterinary team. The position information provided by the clinic includes at least one weekday on call shift and one on call weekend shift each month.
After hours calls are supported by the Vetriage service, which filters calls before they reach the veterinarian and takes deposits.
For a graduate, the focus is on building your skills with an experienced team around you rather than expecting you to have everything figured out from day one.
Life in Echuca Moama
Then there is everything outside work.
Echuca and Moama sit on the Murray River and offer the ease of regional living while still having great cafes, restaurants, sporting and outdoor activities and the amenities you want close by.
It is the kind of place where you can become part of the community, develop long term relationships with your clients and still have plenty to enjoy when the working day finishes.
If you're looking for somewhere that feels manageable enough to settle into but still has plenty happening around you, Echuca offers a lovely balance.
About you
We're looking for a graduate veterinarian who genuinely wants to build strong foundations in companion animal practice.
You don't need to arrive as an accomplished surgeon or have every consult figured out.
We are much more interested in someone who:
- Enjoys companion animal medicine and surgery
- Wants to learn from experienced vets and nurses
- Values teamwork and collaboration
- Communicates well with clients and colleagues
- Is comfortable asking questions
- Wants to build great relationships with clients and their pets
- Is keen to keep learning and developing their clinical skills
If you are enthusiastic, kind, willing to learn and want to be part of a team where people actually know and support each other, we'd love to hear from you.
Ready to start your veterinary career?
Your first veterinary job doesn't need to be in a huge hospital to give you a great clinical foundation.
Sometimes the best place to learn is somewhere you know your teammates, know your clients and have experienced people beside you as you work out what kind of vet you want to become.
Build your companion animal skills. Learn from an experienced team. Work alongside nurses who are genuinely part of how the clinic operates. And start your career in a community on the Murray River where you can build a life outside work as well.
Come and start your veterinary career with Echuca & Moama Veterinary Clinic.
We'd love to hear from you. Apply with your cover letter and resume via the link: https://apiam.bamboohr.com/careers/94 or contact Corinne at corinne.warnick@apiam.com.au or 0458 387 478 to discuss the role.

GUNNEDAH, NORTH WEST SLOPES - MIXED
Seeking a vet who genuinely wants to challenge themselves and grow into an awesome mixed practice vet.
We have the caseload and the experience to get you there but you have to be prepared that the GDV is going to be at 1 am, the calving will be 5 o'clock in the rain and the pneumothorax will come in on your lunch break. Were you the smartest in your year and published papers? That won't mean anything if you can't converse and build rapport with our lovely, average-joe clients. Our clientele aren't impressed by your ability to tell valgus from varus but will bring you chocolates for cracking a joke and making them smile on a shitty day. We have a wonderful team of qualified nurses who have been there and done that but if you leave your consult room a mess they won't be inviting you to the races. Think you can only do one spey a day, we will show you, you're capable of more. Sure, there is the odd quiet day where we can sit down, gossip and drink a cuppa tea or two but most of the time we like to keep busy - think the pub during state of origin.
Please click here to see photos!
We may be a small country practice but we like to learn new things and schedule CPD at the start of the year, we have fatigue management policies, a 4-day work week and all your other standard package inclusions. Every vet rotates through surgery, consult & large animal days from day one. We know it is pointless leaving the new graduate in the clinic and expecting you to do things on call by yourself. Our aim is to get your confidence up and teach you how to deal with the unexpected from day one!
Gunnedah brings the best of rural Australia to the table. We have coal mines and agriculture which means if there's a drought – no worries our clients still have money to afford quality veterinary care. Our clients are laid back and happy for you to have a go even if you've never seen something before but will also drive for referral if you think that's the best for their pet. There are a lot of young people and sporting clubs in town, so as long as you're happy to sign up to something you will make friends. If you enjoy going to the footy, playing twilight netball, campdrafting, boating/camping/fishing, pub feeds and picnic races then this is right up your alley! We are located a long way from the city so unless you enjoy driving 5 hours to Sydney or 7 hours each way to Brisbane then probably apply for a different job.
If this ticks a lot of your boxes then let's have a chat, give me a call ph 02 6742 1834 or email me at chelsea.manley@outlook.com

YAMBA, NORTHERN RIVERS - SMALL ANIMAL
Experienced Veterinarian (Permanent Part-Time | 3 Days per Week)
Angourie Road Veterinary Surgery – Yamba, NSW
We're looking for an experienced veterinarian to join our team at Angourie Road Veterinary Surgery.
This is a permanent part-time position working three days per week, with a mix of consulting and surgery. We're looking for someone who enjoys practising good medicine, values teamwork, and wants to work in an environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work each day.
Please click here to see photos!
Our consulting hours are 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday. We don't believe in keeping people back unnecessarily, and we use VetNotes to keep the day running smoothly so everyone has the best chance of finishing on time. If you're a parent, we're directly opposite the local primary school, and we're happy to organise shift times around school drop-offs and pick-ups where possible.
One of the biggest advantages of working with us is our lifestyle. Our team believe that vet med is a team sport, and we have a strong culture of collaboration and working together to lighten the load for everyone. This spirit of collaboration also extends to our after hours roles - thanks to a shared after-hours roster with neighbouring clinics, our out-of-hours commitment is light, and when appropriate we have the option to refer emergencies to a dedicated emergency hospital.
And speaking of lifestyle...
We call Yamba home. It regularly gets labelled as "the next Byron Bay", but if you ask us, it's even better. It's relaxed, friendly, surrounded by stunning beaches and incredible surf, with great cafés, fresh air and plenty of sunshine.
Our newly renovated clinic was designed from the ground up to maximise our enjoyment of our environment, with both our team and our patients in mind. We embraced biophilic design principles, creating a space filled with natural light, fresh air and greenery visible from every room. There are no long days under harsh fluorescent lights here—just generous, calming spaces that make the clinic somewhere people actually enjoy spending time.
We also believe that practising high-quality medicine starts with having the time and the tools to do it well. That's why we book half-hour consultations as standard, giving you the opportunity to build relationships with clients and work cases up properly without feeling rushed. We have a strong focus on dental care, with a dedicated dental suite, digital radiography, an in-house laboratory and all the diagnostic equipment you'd expect in a modern small animal practice. And because good coffee matters, there's an endless supply of lattes and cappuccinos.
Of course, a beautiful building and great equipment are only part of the story.
We're incredibly proud of the team we've built. We believe veterinary medicine is a team sport, and we work that way every day. We hold daily rounds to discuss cases, share ideas and support one another. Our culture is built around compassionate care, kindness, education, humility, collaboration and excellence. We genuinely enjoy working together, and we're looking for someone who'll add to that environment.
This role would suit a veterinarian who is confident with both consulting and routine surgery, enjoys collaborating with colleagues, and is looking for a long-term home in a supportive, progressive practice.
If this sounds like somewhere you'd like to work, we'd love to hear from you.

WARRAWONG, SOUTH WOLLONGONG - SMALL ANIMAL
Veterinarian Wanted
Come Join Our Family at Warrawong Vets
Located in the Illawarra – 10 Minutes South of Wollongong
We're looking for a Veterinarian to join our close-knit, long-standing team at Warrawong Vets.
One of our much-loved, long-standing vets has recently left us, and while we're going to miss her dearly, we're excited to welcome someone new into our team.
We're a clinic where people genuinely look out for one another. Many of our staff have been with us for 10+ years, and we're proud of the family-like culture we've built. We work as a team, support each other and genuinely try to take care of our people.
The Role
Our clinic is open Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm.
We're ideally looking for someone to work approximately 24 hours per week, but we're very open to discussing a role that suits the right person.
This position would also suit a veterinarian looking for casual work for 1–2 days per week, with shifts generally from 9am–6pm. So, if you're not looking for a permanent part-time position but would love one or two regular days with a supportive clinic, we'd still really like to hear from you.
We're happy to have a conversation about what days and hours work best for you and the clinic, including the possibility of extending our opening hours to include Saturday should you prefer weekend work.
You can also shape the role around your strengths and interests.
- Want to do a combination of consulting and some surgery? Great!
- Prefer to be a consulting-only vet? That is absolutely fine with us.
- Want to focus on quality consultations and building strong relationships with your clients? We support that.
- Have a complex case that needs more time? We allow 30-minute consults for complex cases.
- Routine appointments such as vaccinations are generally 20 minutes, so you're not expected to rush through your consults.
We Make Your Consulting Day Easier
Our vets have a designated consult nurse throughout their consults. We believe this makes a huge difference not only to patient and client care, but also to making your day less stressful and more enjoyable.
You're never expected to manage everything yourself — both the vets and nurses are there to support and help during busy periods.
Work-Life Balance Matters to Us
We understand that life doesn't always fit neatly around a roster.
We offer generous leave entitlements for our permanent team members and we're happy to work with you when you need time away for holidays, family, travel or simply life.

NORTHERN RIVERS - BALLINA - SMALL ANIMALS
Small Animal Veterinarian – Build the Career You Actually Want
Ballina Coast Vets | Full-time or Part-time
There comes a point in every veterinarian's career where you stop looking for "the next job" and start looking for the right team.
Somewhere you can practise excellent medicine.
Somewhere that invests in equipment instead of asking you to make do.
Somewhere that challenges you professionally, supports you personally, and still lets you have a life outside work.
That's what we're building at Ballina Coast Vets.
We're a young, privately owned, ambitious hospital with a vision of becoming one of Australia's leading regional veterinary hospitals. We love great medicine, exceptional client care, continuous learning, and creating a workplace where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.
Our new hospital, which opens at the end of this year (see attached design) has been developed around how veterinarians actually like to work.
You'll have access to:
- Brand-new Siemens MULTIX Impact E DR digital radiography.
- Brand-new Siemens Somatom Go.Up CT machine.
- High-end ultrasound.
- Flexible and rigid endoscopy.
- A dedicated dental theatre with dental radiography.
- Two fully equipped surgical theatres.
- Modern anaesthetic and monitoring equipment.
- Purpose-built ICU and hospital facilities.
- A busy 24-hour emergency and critical care service.
- A thriving exotics caseload, including birds, rabbits, reptiles and small mammals alongside our busy companion animal practice.
We believe good equipment doesn't replace good clinicians—but it certainly helps you practise the medicine you trained to do.
We're looking for someone who:
- Enjoys practising high-quality medicine.
- Wants to keep learning and developing.
- Likes working collaboratively with experienced vets and nurses.
- Is happy mentoring younger colleagues or keen to be mentored themselves.
- Has a sense of humour, because some days the Labrador eats the CT positioning sponge....
Whether you're an experienced veterinarian looking for a long-term home or an early-career vet wanting outstanding support and mentorship, we'd love to have a conversation.
Please click here to see photos!
And then there's Ballina.
Imagine finishing work and being at the beach in five minutes.
Morning swims before consults.
World-class surfing, whale-watching, mountain biking and hinterland trails.
Weekend trips to Byron Bay, Lennox Head or the Northern Rivers.
A fantastic climate, excellent schools, great cafés, and none of the daily commute that comes with city practice.
It's the sort of place people come to for a holiday and quietly start wondering whether they should stay.
What we offer:
- Full-time or part-time opportunities.
- Well above-award remuneration.
- Flexible rostering to suit your lifestyle.
- CPD encouraged and generously supported.
- Mentoring from experienced clinicians.
- A collaborative, down-to-earth team that genuinely enjoys working together.
- Exposure to an interesting and diverse caseload, from routine medicine through to emergency, surgery, imaging and exotic animal practice.
- The opportunity to help shape the future of one of Australia's most progressive regional veterinary hospitals.
We're not trying to build the biggest hospital.
We're trying to build one of the best.
If that sounds like the sort of place you'd like to be part of, we'd love to hear from you.
Send us your CV (admin@ballinacoastvets.com.au) — or just reach out for a confidential chat. Sometimes the best career move starts with a simple conversation.

CENTRAL COAST - KINCUMBER - SMALL ANIMAL
Experienced Part Time Veterinarian Wanted 1-2 days a week
We are looking for an all-rounder vet (consultations and surgery) to give us a hand a couple of days a week.
In this busy world we live, our pets help us so much and give us so much love. We are blessed to be able to help people love and care for their pets. That's why our ethos is Love. Pets. Family.
We live in a great little part of the world – with beaches, national parks, restaurants and a relaxed lifestyle. We just need a few more vet hours in the day – so we can all enjoy it!
We are a small animal, family owned hospital on the beautiful Central Coast – close to everything and only an hour from Sydney. Kincumber is suburban, minutes from the beaches, close to Erina Fair shopping centre, but also near acreages and bush for a relaxed lifestyle.
We are a modern, busy little hospital, with a varied caseload and providing a good mixture of medicine and surgery with all the equipment needed to look after our furry patients. Our clients are lovely and generally happy for us to provide everything needed to look after their pets.
We use (and love) Ezyvet as our practice management software system, we have digital radiology, dental Xray, fancy ultrasound, ligasure, ECG, NIBP for all our anaesthetics, capnography, tonovet, IDEXX inhouse pathology, Imagyst AI – and more.
Please click here to see photos!
Our senior vets are happy to lend advice, with one practice principal having his Memberships in Small Animal Medicine, and the other moonlighting for SASH in Emergency Medicine.
We have heaps of exciting changes coming to the hospital – but you'll have to apply to find out about those!
We are after an all-rounder vet keen to practice high standards, great communication skills, a happy persona, and a sound work ethic. Being a crazy cat person would be appreciated but not necessary (we don't discriminate).
Special interests are welcome. Continuing education is strongly encouraged. You wouldn't need to do any public holiday work and no after hours – meaning you can have the well needed time off and good work/life balance. SASH Tuggerah is close by to refer the curly cases and for advanced imaging, oncology, physiotherapy and most importantly after hours care!
Some weekend work will be needed, but not more than one weekend a month – and hopefully less. We are open only until midday on weekends.
We make sure our staff get their lunch breaks, there's a chocolate/cookie jar that just seems to keep re-filling, and a coffee machine for much needed caffeine replacement...
Remuneration for the successful candidate is based on experience (pro rata of full time salary range 120k – 150k plus super) and we pay well above the vet award. Staff are paid per hour, not only salary. We provide VIN membership and Vet Vault access to our vets, annual paid study leave and CE is encouraged.
To apply please email your CV to greg.kelman@kincumbervet.com.au

Grafton is on the banks of the mighty Clarence River, which is ideal for kayaking, water-skiing, sailing etc (we can supply kayaks and a ski boat if you are keen to hit the water). There are numerous beaches from Yamba to Coffs Harbour within an hour's drive, and picturesque mountain National Parks and white-water rivers within an hour's drive to the west.

Our work is mainly small animals including routine consultations and desexings, but we also deal with more complex medical and surgical cases including TPLO and other orthopaedics. Clinic equipment includes digital radiography, ultrasound, IM3 dental machine, IDEXX in-house haematology and biochemistry machines.
We also provide horse and cattle services. Elective horse work includes castrations, hendra vaccinations and basic dentistry, while elective cattle work includes pregnancy testing and bull breeding soundness exams (PREgCHECK and BULLCHECK accredited vet in clinic). Emergency equine and cattle services are also provided including horse wound management and bovine dystocias.
The clinic has been renovated and expanded in 2020 to provide a more comfortable and well equipped work environment. We have a great team of nurses to work with, and an appreciative clientele.
Ideally, we are seeking a vet who will be happy with a mainly small animal workload, but willing to undertake some large animal work when required. A small animal only vet could also be suitable though. The practice has a well-equipped work vehicle for large animal work, or a mileage allowance would be paid for a private vehicle if preferred. After hours would be every 4th weekend on call. If working full time, the vet would get the Friday off after the weekend on-call. At least half the professional fees are paid to the vet for any after hours work done. Days worked per week can be flexible anywhere from 3 to 5 days per week.
Salary is negotiable, depending on experience. Partnership potential exists for a vet willing to commit to the district and take on some of the challenges of business management for the corresponding financial reward.
If you are interested in our position, please contact Ray Barnett on 0427 057 329 or admin@cvvet.com.au.

Veterinary Associate - Greencross Port Macquarie
If you're looking for a role that blends clinical challenge with an unbeatable coastal lifestyle, Greencross Port Macquarie is the perfect next step. Our clinic sits in one of Australia's most desirable regional towns: beaches, wildlife, hiking trails, a relaxed community feel, plus a team culture that makes you want to come to work.
We're a busy, well-established hospital with a diverse and rewarding caseload, seeing the full spectrum of veterinary medicine. As part of the local after-hours syndicate, and with no emergency centre nearby, we manage everything from tick paralysis and trauma to medical emergencies, wildlife and complex general practice cases. It's a fantastic environment for a vet who enjoys variety, wants to continue building strong clinical skills, and values exposure to cases that are often referred elsewhere in metropolitan areas.
What Makes Our Team Special
Our veterinary team is high performing, experienced and well respected in the region and across the Greencross network.
We are a cohesive team with strong nursing capability, excellent communication and a culture that combines efficiency with genuine care. Morning teas are legendary, teamwork is effortless and clinical standards are high.
Work-Life Balance
We take balance seriously. Rostering is flexible, and leave is approved whenever possible, even at short notice, if it works with clinical needs.
Our participation in the local after-hours roster is manageable and shared across practices, offering valuable exposure to emergency work without the demands of a dedicated emergency roster. For vets who enjoy this aspect of practice, it can also be a great opportunity to boost earnings.
You'll enjoy a lifestyle built around beaches, trails, coastal restaurants and a naturally relaxed way of living.
We are open to speaking with UK veterinarians on Working Holiday Visas who are looking for a 6-month Australian coastal adventure, offering the chance to gain exposure to a varied caseload while enjoying one of Australia's most sought-after regional locations.
If you're looking for a role where you can truly make an impact while living in a stunning coastal location, Port Macquarie offers the perfect combination of challenge, support, lifestyle and growth.
