About this role

This is a full-time general practice position with a caseload that keeps you clinically engaged across the breadth of small animal medicine. You’ll manage cases from initial consultation through to outcome, supported by an experienced nursing team that knows the patients, understands the protocols, and helps the day run well.

Soft tissue surgical confidence is an advantage here, and you’ll have the tools to use it: a well-equipped surgical suite with orthopaedic and laparoscopic capability, a comprehensive dental suite, in-house imaging, and rapid in-house diagnostics. For vets with an interest in exotics, there’s dedicated equipment to support that caseload too.

Key responsibilities include:

• Medical and Surgical Care: Delivering thorough, confident care across a varied GP caseload, with scope for soft tissue and orthopaedic work in-house.
• Diagnostics: Using in-house laboratory services, digital X-ray, dental imaging, and ultrasound to work up cases efficiently and accurately.
• Client Communication: Building trusted, ongoing relationships with a loyal client base that values knowing their vet, and being known by them.
• Team Contribution: Working alongside vets and nurses who take the clinical standard seriously and contribute to a practice culture built on professional respect.

About you

We’re looking for a veterinarian who finds real satisfaction in general practice done well. Someone who values the relationship side of the work as much as the clinical, who communicates with care and clarity, and who brings a steady, considered approach to whatever the day presents.

You’ll feel at home here if you’re the kind of clinician who takes continuity seriously, supports the people around you without being asked, and brings a collaborative mindset to a team that operates with genuine synchronisation. Surgical confidence in soft tissue is an advantage, and any experience with exotics is a welcome addition.

To be considered, you’ll hold a Bachelor or Doctor of Veterinary Science and be registered, or eligible to register, with the ACT Veterinary Practitioners Board. We’re open to candidates across a range of experience, from two years of solid small animal GP work through to more senior practitioners looking for a practice worth settling into.
