HAMPTON PARK, SOUTH EAST MELBOURNE - SMALL ANIMAL
Hi, I’m Dr Cameron and I own Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital.
Ever been stumped trying to answer a question…?
Wracking your brain but coming up with nothing…?
For 28 years I have been solving medical problems for pets on a daily basis but this one question was so difficult to answer.
What was the question that stumped a Vet with 28 years experience…?
“Why should someone work with Dr Cameron and the team at Hampton Park Veterinary Hospital?”
Now I wasn’t stumped because it’s such a terrible place to work but because it was easy to answer the obvious things…
The team…
The clients…
The facilities…
But those things are what I feel every other practice owner seems to say.
What stumped me was being able to truly articulate what makes us unique (we Vets are traditionally very modest!).
So, just like when I get stumped by the answer to a medical puzzle I turned to colleagues, clients and specialists for some insight.
Here is what they said…
“Integrity and honesty underpins all their relationships.”
We pride ourselves on doing the right things the right way for the pets, their owners and those who are part of my team
“Fairness.”
Everyone client and team member is treated equally and respectfully.
“Compassion.”
Apparently there hasn’t been a day I haven’t gone home talking about the clients and pets that came through the consult room or surgery.
Caring is a verb not an adjective.
“Ambition.”
I have always set myself lofty goals and targets and I love to take others along for the ride and help them to do the same.
“Commitment.”
Even after 28 years I still love to continue to tweak and make improvements to my skills and how we do what we do.
What might you take from this..?
If you join the team I go to bat for you. You will be well supported to achieve the goals you have for yourself and evolve into the best Veterinarian you can be.
If you join the team your voice will count. We are a small but tight knit group where everyone contributes valuably to delivering excellent service.
If you join the team you will be treated well. If there is one thing I have learnt it is to value ourselves as professionals and the skills and service we deliver.
Of course, if you join the team there is the usual stuff I mentioned earlier too…
Not forgetting excellent remuneration based on experience.
If joining a team that is led with these guiding principles as their north star sounds attractive then we should talk.
You will be perfect if…
- You have a few years’ experience, so you know your way around a consult room…
- You take pride in doing your very best for yourself, the pet and their owner…
- You are a people person…
- You enjoy the cut and thrust of a GP small animal clinic.
I am really looking for someone who is committed to cementing their career with us.
The good news is that you will be able to do this AND work part time. It is a role suited to you if you are keen for 20 to 25 hours per week.
We are pretty flexible with how this works although it requires a regular Saturday morning shift.
Unlike most other jobs going I’m not going to ask for a CV or a cover letter (well not right away…).
If you are keen to learn more let’s have a no strings attached chat and explore what the future might look like. If it’s something worth exploring further I am sure we will both know it!
Send me an email at cameron@hamptonparkvets.com.au or a text on 0493 248 187 and we can go from there.

YARRAMBAT/NORTH WARRANDYTE, NORTH-EAST MELBOURNE - MIXED
Full Time mixed animal veterinarian position
The Veterinary Surgery is looking for a mixed animal veterinarian to join The Veterinary Surgery team (Yarrambat & North Warrandyte).
70% Small, 15% equine, 15% mixed animals.
We are seeking a veterinarian who will work well in a large, friendly and supportive team of vets and nurses that provide a high level of care to our patients.
Please click here to see photos!
The Position:
- Well-supported position within a great team of 10 vets spread across two clinics
- 4 x 9.5 hour weekday shifts with one rostered weekday off, plus 1 in 4 Saturday morning shifts
- 1 in 7 weeknights on call plus 1 in 7 weekends on call
- 4 weeks annual leave plus one week paid study leave with a further $1500 CPD allowance
- Attractive remuneration
- Large and varied medical and surgical caseload, rarely limited by financial constraints
- Best suited to a motivated, versatile and progressive vet
- Best suited to a vet who will appreciate and contribute to a culture of fun in our workplace
- Baking is looked upon favourably
The clinics and the business:
- Main clinic located in Yarrambat, a picturesque and semi-rural suburb approx 45 mins northeast of Melbourne's CBD
- Branch clinic located in Warrandyte, a beautiful village nestled in the green wedge alongside the Yarra River, 40 min east of the CBD
- Independently owned business with two directors who will happily clean cages, and work shoulder to shoulder with the associates
- Both clinics comprehensively equipped with premium diagnostic and monitoring equipment.
Words from one of our Associate Vets:
- We are one of the few clinics where is it possible to live in the "city" and do mixed animal practice
- Our nurses are well-trained to look after us, not over-book and give us enough time for consults, phone calls and catch-ups. Lunchtimes and home-times are considered sacred, and we almost always get out on time. If you want to leave the clinic to go for a walk or pick up lunch at lunchtime, that is almost always possible.
- Doing on-call is an opportunity to serve the local community, to gain unique experience, learn to think on your feet and see some cool cases, but we also have the ability to refer small animal emergencies to 24-hour centres so they can receive the best of care (which also means on-call isn't overly busy)
- As we see such a variety of animals and cases, there is definitely the ability for vets to develop a special interest - anything from alpacas, or equine dentistry, or small animal behaviour. But otherwise, this is an awesome clinic to become a well-rounded mixed animal practitioner, with vets experienced in different areas to provide support and guidance.
- Our large animal work is often for clients who keep a small number of these animals as pets, and so individual diagnostics and treatment are often pursued, but there is also the scope for doing some herd health work if vets are interested
- We have the ability both to work-up and treat complicated cases in-house, and use travelling specialists, but also, we commonly refer and have excellent relationships with specialist centres
- Our clients are generally excellent, usually very respectful and keen to do the best for their animals. As a small independent practice, we have many clients that have been coming to the clinic for decades and value the personalised care we can provide for their animals.
- We are a very casual, friendly, chatty bunch. We work hard but have fun. The radio plays out the back. We often sit and have lunch together. The vet team are very supportive and approachable and share cases and ideas and ask each other for help commonly.
Please contact Andy Lynch at andrew.lynch@thevetsurgery.com.au or at the Yarrambat Veterinary Hospital 03 9436 1699 to register your interest or to further discuss the position.

The surgery intern’s responsibilities and activities support the efficient and effective management of cases presented to the Surgery Department both as primary referrals and via the emergency service. In this role, the intern works cooperatively with, and under supervision of the surgical specialists, registrar and resident. This affords a considerable opportunity for clinical and professional development with exposure to a wide range of surgical cases and is intended to foster the intern’s interest in further learning and facilitate their progression to advanced clinical training in the discipline.

- Review of patient treatment/hospital charts

- Assistance with diagnostic imaging investigations including radiographs, CT and MRI (external facility) examinations after appropriate training and licensing requirements have been met
- Preparation of surgical reports relating to procedures that the intern has been involved in as the assistant surge
- Thorough examination, assessment and care of any hospitalised surgery patients (including cooperation with the surgery nurse in performing any ancillary tasks).
- Preparation of daily inpatient records for hospitalised surgery patients
- Timely and comprehensive reporting to the specialists on the condition of their inpatients.
- Communication with clients and referring veterinarians on behalf of the surgeons when requested.
- The surgical intern is not required to contribute to the on-call roster although there is the potential for the intern to participate in rostered in-patient care on Saturday mornings.
- Participation in, and contribution to, weekly surgery rounds/journal club sessions
Qualifications
- Candidates must be eligible for veterinary registration in Victoria and have excellent communication skills and work ethic, as well as a strong knowledge base on which to build
- Clinical experience is desirable but not essential
- This position is suited to a highly motivated vet seeking to further their skills and knowledge in Small Animal Surgery
- Team coherence is extremely important to us and above all, we value someone who is a team player and an active learner
Additional Information
What We Offer
- Mentorship and Guidance: Our team of skilled surgeons, vets and nurses will provide mentorship and guidance throughout your internship, ensuring your professional development and continued success. Interns interested in pursuing specialisation will be encouraged to seek residency training following the completion of the internship, and will be assisted in such training opportunities, whether it be internally or externally.
- Diverse Case Load: Our hospital sees a wide variety of cases from the Emergency department as well as referrals from referring practices all over Victoria, NSW and Tasmania, offering you exposure to complex surgical procedures.
- Collaborative Environment: Join a supportive team of passionate professionals who are dedicated to providing the best care for our patients. Learn from experienced nurses, veterinarians and specialists who will guide you every step of the way.
