The clinical opportunity
AREC is an established veterinary hospital in Broadmeadow, providing 24/7 emergency care alongside referral services. You’ll contribute to the care of animals requiring urgent assessment and treatment in a busy clinical environment.

Our privately owned, non-corporate hospital is guided by six core values: Respect, Diligence, Professionalism, Excellence, Empathy and Integrity. We aim to provide high-quality care while supporting the people who deliver it.

We’re interested in hearing from veterinarians who are comfortable with emergency and after-hours work and can adapt to the demands of a busy hospital.

You’ll need:

Current registration with the Veterinary Practitioners Board of NSW.
Availability for shifts that may include nights, weekends and public holidays.

Make the most of Newcastle
If you’re travelling for your locum, Newcastle is a great place to spend time outside work. Take a morning swim, explore the coastline, enjoy the local food scene or head further afield to the Hunter Valley wine region or Port Stephens on your days off.
