About the Clinic:
A companion animal hospital, which is always growing and adapting to new standards of care, and ensuring they have all of the diagnostic tools a regional clinic could dream of, including digital Xray, dental Xray, ultrasound, endoscope, istat blood gas machines, coagulation, faecal and cytology analysers, CBC/Biochem blood machine and anaesthetic monitoring equipment including blood pressure and ECG.
With a high case load of both routine and non-routine surgeries and have all the equipment required to perform fracture repairs, TTAs and TPLOs.
For those more difficult cases that require specialist referral or CT imaging, not only are they only 2.5hrs from the closest referral hospital, and are fortunate enough to have a specialist surgeon visit our clinic fortnightly to assist with managing cases locally.
The Team:
The family team is made up of about 50-ish staff that enjoy plenty of socialisation, especially with Victoria finally opening up again.
Having fun while delivering a professional and valuable service to their clients is a huge priority, but also prioritise a work-life balance, and working overtime and beyond clinic hours is not common practice at our clinic.
They know that the industry is challenging, and want the staff to love their jobs and enjoy their lifestyle.
