About Us

“I have a dream: that one day, every person working in the veterinary profession can say, ‘I love my job.’” – Dr Ali Ashrafi, Founder, Capital Veterinary Hospital

This belief is at the heart of everything we do at Capital Vet.

We’re a proudly independently owned veterinary hospital built around four pillars: our colleagues, our patients, our clients and our hospital. We believe that when our people feel safe, supported and valued, they can do their best work and provide exceptional care.

We’re a close-knit team that values trust, communication, collaboration and continuous improvement. We invest in our people and are proud to be a Lincoln Institute Accredited Employer of Choice and recipients of the Lincoln Institute Australia’s Best Led Practice Award.

We’re now looking for an experienced veterinary surgeon to join our four-vet hospital in Canberra and be part of our continued growth.

• Bonus structure with genuine potential to earn $240K+
• Clinical autonomy, with experienced colleagues available for support and collaboration.
• Access to advanced clinical and diagnostic equipment.
• Enrolment in the Lincoln Institute Leading Edge Program, a nationally recognised professional development program.
• A supportive culture that values mentorship, learning and recognises your contribution.

Your Team & Support

We’re a collaborative four-vet practice where people enjoy sharing knowledge, discussing cases and supporting one another.

You’ll be supported by:

• A dedicated Practice Owner with a passion for surgery.
• Experienced, approachable veterinarians.
• An experienced Practice Manager and Client Relations Manager.
• Skilled nurses and receptionists who support procedures, treatments and patient care.

We believe great veterinary medicine is a team effort, while still giving our vets the autonomy to practise to their strengths.
