We pride ourselves on providing the highest level of care and service to our patients, with 20 minute standard consultations & 30 minutes for more complicated cases, allowing plenty of time to establish good relationships with our clients and their pets, and offer a thorough and thoughtful service. We also host the Territory’s only surgical specialist every second month, alternating with our sister clinic in the rural area, and the position offers the opportunity to work alongside and learn from him, should that be of interest.

The position is full time, working 4 days a week. However, we are also happy to consider applicants seeking a part time option. Weekends are equally shared, and after-hours duties are limited to 1-2 nights on call per month. We are committed to ensuring a good work-life balance for all our staff and provide a supportive and friendly working environment for everyone, with regular meetings and social events.

Salary is well above award, commensurate with experience, with 4 weeks’ paid annual leave and 1 week paid study leave, plus additional benefits such as paid NT Veterinary registration, assistance with accommodation and relocation costs. We actively encourage and financially support continuing education in whatever field of interest our staff choose to pursue, to enhance the services we offer our clients. Darwin Veterinary Hospital is an approved business sponsor and we can consider applicants from overseas who hold a Veterinary qualification recognised in Australia.

Darwin is a vibrant, growing capital city with a tropical climate that allows a relaxed lifestyle and outdoor activity all year round. Darwin is also Australia’s most Asian city with frequent street markets and twice weekly night markets in the Dry Season. Direct flights to Singapore, Bali, Manila and Kuala Lumpur mean that a weekend away in Asia is a practical option.
