DAYLESFORD - SMALL ANIMALS New Position
PERMANENT/PART TIME/CASUAL VETERINARIAN REQUIRED
SMALL ANIMAL
DAYLESFORD, VIC 3460 AUSTRALIA
We are a small vet practice in the beautiful Daylesford region. We are currently operating with a single veterinarian/owner and are unable to keep up with the demand for our services. The population in our region is growing rapidly and we could easily support 2 full time vets.
We are seeking an experienced (preferably) small animal veterinarian to join our small but rapidly expanding clinic in Daylesford. A long-established practice, currently for sale, just over 1 hour from Melbourne & 35 minutes from Ballarat.
We can offer flexible employment options but ultimately we are seeking someone to enter the role with a long-term future in mind, including possible ownership of the clinic although this is not essential. We will happily consider a full time, part time or casual role depending on your requirements. Ideally the role would be a minimum of 2 days a week. Our preference for this role is an experienced applicant, however we would also consider recent graduates. Salary is negotiable, we are open to all ideas including fee splitting incentives.
About us:
We are a small clinic based in Daylesford that mainly services small animals. The clinic itself offers huge potential to easily employ 2 full time vets on a daily basis. Large animal and hobby farm work has been turned away for a long time due to staffing/time constraints. Being a small clinic in a close-knit community means we have built a fabulous rapport with clients, many of whom have been coming to us since the practice started in 2006.
The clinic offers all routine and preventative care services, as well as emergency treatment of medical and surgical cases. We have VetScan in house HM5 haematology & VS2 biochemistry, VetScan Urine Analyser, DR xray, all essential diagnostic tools, small animal ultrasound and surgical instruments including Stryker drill, pin driver & oscillating saw. The clinic has two consult rooms, two species specific kennel rooms and a large surgery & radiology area.
Our ideal candidate:
To thrive in this role, you should have well developed diagnostic, surgery and communication skills. Our little world is diverse in this region and clientele come from all different walks of life & socioeconomic backgrounds. Having the skills to make connections with various types of people is very important.
Being a small practice you must be confident to work independently, although support will always be available from the current veterinarian & your experienced nursing team. The successful applicant will need to be able to perform consultations and veterinary treatment (medical & surgical) on all small animals commonly seen in practice. Any knowledge of farm animals will also be beneficial but not crucial to the role.
If you would like to discuss this role, please contact Dr Emma Tomkins (Practice Owner) hvcet@westnet.com.au – Hepburn Veterinary Clinic

SHEPPARTON, GOULBURN VALLEY - EQUINE SURGEON

Location: Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital, Victoria, Australia
Position: Equine Surgeon
We’re on the lookout for a capable, collaborative equine surgeon to join our developing team at GVEH. You’ll need to be confident managing emergency surgeries when they arise—think colics, septic joints, traumatic wounds—but that’s just one part of the bigger picture.
This role offers a varied and rewarding caseload, from thorough orthopaedic workups and elective procedures to racehorse and sport horse management—and yes, the occasional donkey. Our ideal candidate enjoys the full scope of equine surgical care and is keen to grow alongside a multidisciplinary team.
Whether you’re dreaming of a permanent move to beautiful regional Victoria, or seeking a few months of meaningful work (and a bit of adventure), we’re open-minded. Let’s find what works for both of us—and maybe, just maybe, the start of something longer-term will blossom.
Who We Are:
Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital is a multidisciplinary referral clinic, home to specialists in surgery, internal medicine, emergency & critical care, reproduction, and dentistry. We’re also a teaching hospital, hosting DVM4 rotations from the University of Melbourne, with a strong focus on fostering a rich learning environment—for students and staff alike.
Please click here to see photos!
What We’re Looking For:
- A veterinarian with surgical training and experience
- Confidence in handling equine emergencies independently or with minimal guidance.
- A strong interest in contributing to elective and referral cases across the full surgical spectrum.
- Bonus points for enthusiasm in orthopaedic diagnostics and lameness workups.
- A team player who values collaboration and ongoing learning.
What We Offer:
- A supportive, specialist-led environment with a culture of teamwork and education.
- A diverse caseload with plenty of opportunities to develop your skills.
- Flexibility—whether you’re looking for a short-term gig or a permanent change.
- A clinic in growth mode—meaning there’s room for your ideas, input, and ambition.
Let’s be honest—no one moves to Australia just for the colics. But if you’re ready for a new professional challenge in a place that values your expertise and your growth, this might be your perfect next chapter.
Interested?

Sensible stuff you probably do need to know:
Whilst we are a mixed general practice we provide a wide range of companion animal and equine services, we currently provide limited farm animal services due to time constraints. We would be happy to accommodate smallies only vets, smallies equine vets very comfortably and welcome anyone with and interest in farm animal practice, but it would take time to grow the caseload in this area.

We come to work to collaborate, share ideas and aim for our patients' best possible outcome. We embrace the challenging aspects that come from seeing and performing such a varied range of services. Variety is the spice of life!
We love where we live and how rich the rewards can be for your career as a vet. You can spend your entire day amidst the thrills that only vets who do outcalls know about. Then you can be in Melbourne's CBD less than 60 minutes later to take advantage of all the city has to offer.
If in-clinic vet work is more your thing then we have the experience in our team to cover almost everything, and we empower our vets to manage their cases but with the support of our peers. We regularly and routinely workup medical and surgical cases on a huge array of small ruminant patients too - who said you can't provide the same level of veterinary care to a farm animal as you would to a dog, cat or horse?

About us:
The clinics' current clinical lead veterinarian, Dr Josh Ellis, is moving on after 16 years in the practice. During this period Romsey Vet has provided all the professional fulfilment he could have hoped for and he is dedicated to hand over the role to someone with the drive and charisma to continue to make this a truly great practice.
During the last 2 and a half years the clinic has joined with Apiam Animal Health and has not looked back. We are well supported, operate with an amazing level of autonomy, and are able to reap all of the clinical and staff benefits provided by being a part of a larger organisation. As a part of Apiam, we are committed to enriching the lives of animals, people and the communities where we live and strive as a company to deliver our vision of healthy animals and happy people.
The Romsey Veterinary Surgery is fully equipped to manage medical and surgical cases in the full range of companion animals, equine and livestock species. We have a team of vets and nurses who can tackle almost anything, including orthopaedics and TPLO, but we also have the amazing ability to easily refer patients to nearby small animal or equine specialist and hospital facilities when it is required. This allows us to provide the best possible level of care and maximise outcomes.
We treat companion animals as well as sheep, cattle, goats, horses, alpaca and pigs- we see some of everything and are a true mixed animal clinic. The equine caseload is relatively low but could be grown, but we also have a range of local equine vets that we collaborate with who handle all the stud and performance work in our region.
The main drawcard for our clinic is our amazing team of rockstar receptionists and nurses. Besides that, our clinic is comprised of a spacious waiting room and consult rooms, treatment area, sterile surgery theatre etc and we have full in house Idexx blood machines (including ability to run coags, Sedivue), as well as a whiz bang Xray and ultrasound machine. A work vehicle is provided for outcalls and on-call.
