Looking for a clinic where you can enjoy being a vet?
At Moorong Veterinary Clinic, we believe a good veterinary job should offer more than an interesting caseload. You should have colleagues you can rely on, the freedom to develop your skills, and enough time outside work to enjoy the rest of your life.

We’re a locally owned, independent clinic in Wagga Wagga, with a friendly team of veterinarians, nurses and support staff who genuinely enjoy working together. We take our work seriously, support each other through the challenging days and believe there should always be room for a laugh.

We’re looking for another veterinarian to join our team. Whether you’re a new graduate looking for a supportive start or an experienced vet ready for your next chapter, we’d love to meet you.

We’re much more interested in finding the right person than ticking off a long list of qualifications. If you’re kind, care about doing a good job and enjoy being part of a team, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

The important details
We offer both full-time and part-time positions, with flexibility to discuss what works best for you.

For full-time veterinarians, the roster is built around a four-day working week. Saturdays are shared approximately one in five, followed by a weekday off.

And one of the biggest advantages? We don’t do after-hours. When your working day is finished, it’s finished. Your evenings, weekends and time off are yours to enjoy.

Salary packages range from $92,000 for new graduates to $150,000+ for experienced veterinarians, depending on your experience and skill set.

We want you to have a rewarding career without feeling that your entire life revolves around work.

A workplace where people matter
We’re proud of the culture we’ve built at Moorong. Our clinic has been recognised as an AVA Employer of Choice and more recently certified through the AVA’s Great Place To Work initiative.

Those achievements matter to us, but we believe the real measure of a great workplace is how people feel when they walk through the door each day. We want our team to feel supported, respected and comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas and getting help when they need it.

We also want you to build a career around the parts of veterinary medicine you genuinely enjoy. Keen to improve your surgical skills? Interested in dentistry, ultrasound, behaviour or emergency medicine? Passionate about large animals or keen to explore something completely different?

Tell us what interests you. We’re happy to support relevant courses, further training and the development of new skills. We want our veterinarians to keep learning, build confidence and find the areas of practice that make their work fulfilling.

Interesting cases, modern facilities and a team to lean on
Our caseload is approximately 95% small animal, with a varied mix of medical and surgical cases. Working in Wagga means we see plenty of interesting presentations, and no two days are quite the same.

We have strong relationships with local and visiting specialists who are happy to provide advice and guidance when a case needs another perspective. We believe good veterinary medicine is a team effort, and we’re always willing to discuss cases and seek a second opinion.

Our client base also includes a growing number of pocket pets, birds, snakes and wildlife. We undertake large animal work too, with enough variety to keep the large animal interests of our current team satisfied.

While we don’t actively pursue additional large animal work, there’s plenty of opportunity in the Wagga region. If large animal practice is your passion and you’d like to develop that side of your role, we’d be keen to explore the possibilities with you.

Our hospital and equipment
We work from a purpose-built veterinary hospital, only a couple of years old, with facilities and equipment that support a broad range of clinical work, including:

• Digital radiography and dental radiography.
• Omega ultrasound.
• IDEXX in-house laboratory.
• Storz endoscopy.
• Well-equipped surgical facilities.
• Modern patient monitoring equipment.

Of course, good equipment is important. But what really makes the difference is having experienced colleagues close by when you need them.

At Moorong, you can walk up to another vet and ask, “Can you come and have a look at this?” That’s part of everyday life here. Cases are discussed, second opinions are encouraged, and someone will lend a hand in surgery when needed.

With around six veterinarians working each day, there’s usually someone available to bounce an idea off, talk through a tricky case or help you work out your next step. Nobody is expected to know everything, and nobody should feel they have to figure it all out alone.

New graduates and experienced vets are welcome
We’re not recruiting for a particular number of years’ experience. We’re looking for someone who will be a great fit for our team.

If you’re a new graduate, you’ll have experienced veterinarians around you, ready to offer guidance as you develop your clinical skills and confidence. We understand that learning takes time, and we don’t expect you to know everything from day one. Asking questions is encouraged, and you’ll have support as you find your feet.

If you’re an experienced veterinarian, you’ll have room to practise with autonomy, contribute your ideas and bring your own clinical interests to the team. We’re not interested in micromanaging good vets. We want to help you do your best work and continue developing in the areas that matter to you.

Whichever stage of your career you’re at, we’re looking for someone who is approachable, compassionate, keen to do a good job and happy to be part of a collaborative workplace.

Make Wagga Wagga your home
Wagga Wagga offers an appealing alternative to life in a major capital city. As a substantial regional centre, it has the everyday conveniences many people want, including schools, restaurants, cafés, sporting facilities and essential services, without the same traffic, long commutes and costs often associated with metropolitan living.

There’s also plenty to enjoy outside work. Wagga has an active sporting community, green spaces, riverside areas and plenty of room to get outdoors. Whether you enjoy running, cycling, team sports, exploring local food spots or simply spending more time with family and friends, it’s a place where you can make the most of your days off.

For veterinarians considering a move, the combination of regional convenience, a welcoming community and access to outdoor activities makes Wagga worth a closer look. And with a four-day working week and no after-hours roster, you’ll have more opportunity to experience what the region has to offer rather than simply working through it.

What we offer

• Salary packages of $92,000–$150,000+ depending on experience and skill set.
• Full-time or part-time employment options.
• A four-day week for full-time veterinarians.
• Saturdays shared approximately one in five, followed by a weekday off.
• No after-hours work.
• A supportive team with experienced vets available for case discussion and mentorship.
• Opportunities for professional development and the pursuit of individual clinical interests.
• A varied caseload across small animal medicine and surgery, with opportunities involving other species.
• Modern, purpose-built facilities and well-equipped clinical areas.
• A locally owned, independent workplace that values its people and their wellbeing.

Could Moorong be your next move?
If you’re looking for a clinic where you can enjoy veterinary medicine, continue learning and work alongside people who genuinely support each other, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need to be an expert in everything. You just need to care about your patients, enjoy working with people and want to be part of a good team.

Get in touch for an informal chat, ask us any questions or arrange a time to come and see the clinic. There’s no pressure — we’d be happy to show you around and help you decide whether Moorong could be the right fit.
