There are partnership prospects for the right applicant, if desired.

19/08/19 Feedback from a 2011 graduate who is currently working at this practice: This is a beautiful custom-built facility. We do 30-minute consults, which is fantastic. I have done a lot of locum work and seen a lot of practices around Australia and this practice has really high standards of care. There is a lot of case management discussion between the vets. There is a really good caseload of both medicine and surgery. One of the senior vets at the practice is a very good orthopaedic surgeon. We have really lovely clients, and there is a good diagnostic workup rate. Consults are scheduled so there is time for writing up your cases. The practice owner is a wonderful boss. She is very approachable. This is a really interesting place to live. There is a great sense of community here. There are great opportunities for sports in town, plenty of cultural activities, beautiful gorges and the camping is amazing!
