The role
We are seeking an experienced small animal veterinarian to join us on a full-time or part-time basis.

You will be confident managing routine consultations and general surgery, enjoy developing lasting relationships with clients, and take pride in providing high standards of patient care. We welcome veterinarians with special clinical interests and will encourage you to develop these further. Above all, we value a positive attitude, good communication and a collaborative approach to veterinary medicine.

Our rotating roster incorporates consulting, surgery and floater duties, providing variety throughout the week, exposure to interesting cases and a balanced workload. You’ll have the opportunity to make full use of your clinical skills while working alongside colleagues who are happy to share their knowledge and support your professional development.

Modern facilities and equipment
Our new, purpose-designed facility provides a spacious and well-equipped environment in which to practise contemporary small animal medicine.

Our equipment includes:

• Mindray Vetus 80 ultrasound
• Digital radiography
• Dental radiography
• Endoscopy
• Tonometer
• Comprehensive suite of in-house diagnostic analysers
• Vet Radar workflow management system
• Blood pressure monitoring
• Capnography
• ECG

We have invested in creating a hospital that supports efficient workflows, high-quality clinical care and a positive working environment. You’ll have access to the tools needed to investigate cases, make informed clinical decisions and deliver excellent care to our patients.

Work-life balance that means something
We understand that a rewarding veterinary career needs to fit around the rest of your life. That’s why we offer a flexible, family-friendly roster, excellent remuneration and no after-hours commitments. The standard rotating roster includes just one Saturday morning in five.

We also believe looking after our team is just as important as looking after our patients. Every fortnight, a qualified masseur visits the clinic to offer staff members who are interested a relaxing 10–20-minute massage.

Your professional development matters to us, too. We provide paid study leave, continuing education funding and memberships with the University of Sydney Centre for Veterinary Education (CVE) and the Veterinary Information Network (VIN). Whether you want to pursue a particular clinical interest or broaden your existing skills, we want to help you grow.

A team that takes its work seriously, but not itself!
We’re a friendly bunch who believe laughter belongs in the workplace. Our team includes trivia champions, legendary Christmas-party attendees, cocktail enthusiasts, nerds, sports lovers, outdoor adventurers, pole dancers, super-parents, backyard-chicken enthusiasts and people who proudly wear silly scrubs.

We’re neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+ allies and welcoming of different personalities, interests and perspectives. You don’t need to fit any particular mould to join us. We simply want good people who care about animals, support their colleagues and contribute to a positive workplace.

And there’s one more member of the team you should know about: our much-loved Alexandrine parrot, Elliot, who would be delighted to chat with you on 07 4045 5555.

Discover life in tropical Far North Queensland
Located in Edmonton, just south of Cairns, this opportunity offers more than a great veterinary job. You’ll be based in a growing suburban community with everyday amenities nearby, while remaining within reach of Cairns’ restaurants, cafes, shopping, markets and waterfront lifestyle. It’s an appealing location for veterinarians seeking a more relaxed pace of life without giving up access to the services and attractions of a regional city.

For those who love the outdoors, the Cairns region is hard to beat. Spend your days off exploring the Great Barrier Reef, swimming beneath tropical waterfalls, walking through World Heritage-listed rainforests or discovering the Atherton Tablelands. With a warm tropical climate, beautiful natural surroundings and plenty of opportunities for boating, hiking, snorkelling and weekend adventures, Far North Queensland offers an enviable lifestyle for individuals, couples and families alike.
