VET WANTED: Likes Animals, Can Hold Their Bladder for Hours (Optional, But Impressive)
Location: Port Lincoln, SA | Vets On Eyre
Hey, you. Yes, you—the vet who’s scrolling job ads looking for something that doesn’t sound like corporate jargon or an endless list of unrealistic expectations.
Let’s cut to the chase: We’re looking for a veterinarian to join our team at Vets On Eyre. Part-time or full-time, smallies or mixed—let’s chat and figure out what works for you.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
✅ Port Lincoln = Coastal Paradise – Think fishing, diving, surfing, hiking, and camping on your days off. Goodbye, traffic. Hello, ocean breezes.
✅ Mixed Practice, Rural Vibes – 80% smallies, 10% equine, and a sprinkling of sheep and cattle for good measure. Once we are back fully staffed with vets we aim to re-commence our remote vet visits to coastal towns—so if you love road trips, this could be your jam.
✅ Actual Support & Mentorship – We have 1 full-time and 4 part-time vets, plus senior support when needed. We’ll try not to throw you into the deep end without floaties.
✅ Fair After-Hours Roster & Compensation – 1-in-4 rotation, 70% of professional fees, and VetCheck 24/7 handling triage so you only get the real emergencies (not “Fluffy coughed once an hour ago”).

Who We’re Looking For:
✔️ A vet who’s confident enough to handle a shift solo but knows when to call in backup.
✔️ Bonus points if you know the difference between a cat that’s “just a little spicy” and a cat that has murder in its eyes.
✔️ Experience is great, but if you’re a new grad with a solid attitude, resilience and a willingness to learn, we’d love to support you.
✔️ Mixed practice skills are a plus, but if you prefer to stick to small animals, we can make that work.

We are looking for hard-working, proactive people with excellent communication skills and a positive demeanour. Previous interns have been successful in progressing to residency positions.
The Internship:
The Internship is a full-time clinical position lasting one year, requiring four workdays a week, with rotating discharges and on-call coverage for Saturdays and Sundays. The start date is as soon as possible.

They will be supported by board-certified specialists in surgery (ECVS), internal medicine (ECVIM and ACVIM) and diagnostic imaging (ECVDI, FANZCVS and ACVR) as well as Ophthalmology (FANZCVS), residents, interns, and a team of amazing nurses. Needless to say, the Intern can expect full support and instruction (including journal club, film reading and other teaching), but initiative and desire to pursue further specialisation will be advantageous. We are an approved ECVS training centre and, for the right person, this Internship would be a stepping stone into further training programmes.

- A veterinary degree that is recognised in South Australia
- Minimum of one year of working experience in a small animal veterinary practice
- A previous rotating Internship is advantageous but not essential
