Picture a veterinary role where you can do genuinely good medicine, learn from experienced clinicians, and still be close enough to enjoy city and coastal life.

This opportunity is based in Queensland’s beautiful Scenic Rim - less than 1.5 hours from Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Our client is a well-established, purpose-built equine and mixed practice working at the heart of performance horse country. They’re growing and offering two flexible career pathways, depending on where your interests lie.

The Practice:

This is a progressive clinic known for high standards of care, strong teamwork, and a down-to-earth culture. With two board-certified surgeons on site, you’ll be supported daily by clinicians who love to teach and collaborate - no fly-in specialists, just real mentoring and shared cases.

Facilities and services include:

  • Full surgical suite with a high annual surgical caseload

  • Advanced diagnostics: digital radiography, ultrasound, video endoscopy, gastroscopy, laparoscopy, in-house lab

  • Highly regarded stud medicine and reproduction services (AI, embryo transfer, semen collection, stallion facilities)

  • Comprehensive ambulatory and emergency services

The clinic is trusted by leading thoroughbred farms and local clients alike, with a reputation built on consistency and quality.
