Dreaming of a coastal lifestyle where your weekends are spent by the ocean and your weekdays are filled with meaningful, hands-on veterinary work?

This could be the perfect move for you. Our client, a well-established and highly regarded veterinary hospital in South Western Victoria, is seeking an experienced Veterinarian to join their dedicated and friendly team.

Nestled in one of Victoria’s most picturesque seaside towns, this role offers the best of both worlds - the professional satisfaction of a busy, well-equipped hospital and the relaxed pace of coastal living.

    • Separate dog and cat wards, isolation unit, and in-house laboratory
    • Dedicated ultrasound and X-ray rooms for efficient case management
  • Opportunities to grow your skills or specialise in your area of interest - whether that’s surgery, general practice, or native wildlife care.
  • A close-knit, experienced team that values collaboration, mentorship, and continued learning.
  • Weekly clinical meetings for case discussions and professional support.
  • Involvement in the care of native wildlife, including koalas, raptors, kangaroos, and echidnas.

What’s on Offer:

  • Attractive salary package, tailored to your experience.
  • Relocation support or benefits package, plus the option of a fully equipped practice vehicle.
  • Genuine work–life balance with flexible hours and no after-hours requirement.
  • Ongoing CPD support, VIN membership, and encouragement of special interests.
  • Employee wellbeing support through EAP access.
  • Cross-Tasman collaboration opportunities for vets with a sense of adventure.

About You:

  • Confident in small animal medicine and surgery, with a compassionate approach to care.
  • Keen to continue learning and share knowledge with your team.
  • Enjoys working in a supportive, community-focused environment.
  • Brings a positive, team-oriented attitude and a passion for veterinary excellence.

This is an opportunity to build a rewarding career while enjoying life in a stunning coastal setting - where your skills are valued, your growth is supported, and your weekends can truly be your own.
