The opportunity
If you enjoy being a true generalist and want the clinical resources to investigate cases thoroughly, Tooronga Veterinary Hospital offers the opportunity to practise a broad range of small animal medicine, surgery and dentistry in a modern, well-equipped setting.

Opened in 2024, the hospital has quickly built a strong reputation, attracting clients from across Melbourne. As the practice continues to grow, you’ll join an established team committed to delivering excellent veterinary care.

You’ll manage a varied caseload with support from experienced veterinary and nursing colleagues. The hospital’s advanced diagnostic capabilities, including CT, offer opportunities to develop your clinical skills, while close working relationships with an independent 24/7 emergency and critical care service and mobile specialist surgeons provide additional clinical resources when cases require them.

About you
We’re looking for an experienced small animal veterinarian who enjoys the variety of general practice and is confident managing cases independently.

You’ll bring:

• At least four years’ experience in small animal general practice.
• Strong clinical skills across medicine, surgery and dentistry.
• The confidence to manage a broad caseload.
• Excellent communication skills and a focus on building strong client relationships.
• Experience with EzyVet is preferred but not essential.
• This position is intended for an experienced clinician rather than a recent graduate.

Why Tooronga?
Tooronga is privately owned, with a focus on its people, patients and standard of care. The hospital is in an exciting growth phase, with plans to continue investing in its team, facilities and clinical capabilities.

If you’re ready to bring your experience to a growing practice where you can deliver thorough general practice care and continue developing professionally, we’d love to hear from you.
