A privately owned veterinary practice in picturesque northern Tasmania is offering an exceptional opportunity for a new graduate veterinarian. Launch your career in a well-supported and progressive environment.
This busy small animal clinic is known for its vibrant culture and commitment to continuous learning. You’ll work alongside six experienced veterinarians and a team of 20 skilled and friendly support staff who are dedicated to delivering outstanding care to both clients and their pets.
The team actively fosters a supportive and enjoyable workplace, striking a great balance between professionalism and fun. You’ll enjoy a varied caseload focused on small animals, with the occasional opportunity to treat Tasmania’s unique native wildlife.
The clinic is fully equipped with high-quality diagnostic and surgical tools, including ECG, blood pressure monitoring, a Mylab ultrasound machine, Surgivet with ETCO monitoring, digital DR x-ray, dental radiography, Tonopen and endoscopy equipment.
The commitment to excellent clinical care is matched by a focus on the wellbeing and professional development of the team.
As a Lincoln Institute clinic, all veterinarians participate in a program that supports personal growth, leadership development, and long-term career satisfaction. The successful candidate will receive a generous starting salary, along with a comprehensive support package that includes VIN and CVE (Sydney University) memberships, enrolment in the Lincoln Institute Veterinary Business Program, access to the Emerging Leaders Program for all staff and one week of paid study leave each year.
To help maintain a healthy work-life balance, the practice has an after-hours emergency clinic that handles weekend and public holiday cases. On-call duties are limited to Monday to Thursday evenings only and all after-hours calls are screened by VetChat, significantly reducing the number of callouts. Saturday shifts are shared on a 1-in-5 or 1-in-6 rotation, running from 9 am to 3 pm.
This role is based in a thriving regional city that offers a fantastic lifestyle. From buzzing cafes, scenic riverside parks, and excellent restaurants to snowfields, lakes, beaches, and mountains just an hour away, northern Tasmania has everything you need to make the most of your downtime.
If you’re a compassionate and motivated graduate looking to start your veterinary career in a place where you’ll be supported to grow and thrive, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
Feedback from a recent graduate who worked at the practice:
As a recent graduate I found this practice to have a very supportive team – experienced vets to bounce ideas off and discuss cases, who will actually come out of consult to help you with surgeries if needed; experienced nurses who go above and beyond daily; friendly reception staff who are happy to help anyway they can. You really DO get the opportunity to explore special interests – whether that is surgery, eyes, skin, medicine, ultrasound (and there is an excellent ultrasound machine!). And although it is a very busy small animal clinic, you usually get your full lunch break everyday, with the ability to move your schedule around if things come in, so you’re not doing massive amounts of overtime. The hours also make for an excellent work-life balance, Tasmania is a great state for exploring the outdoors, and the clinic is based in a cultural city – cafes with great coffee, parks and rivers, restaurants and an active nightlife – and there’s no such thing as peak hour traffic!
