Our ‘Why’:

• We believe in our people and enjoy working together to create an environment which promotes a great work/life balance for everyone.

About us:

We are looking for an experienced small animal vet to join our amazing team!

We support each other. We work hard. We collaborate. We always hold the patients’ needs first and foremost. We have vets with many decades of experience to assist you. We problem solve together.

We have been in our beautiful Samford Valley for over 40 years.  We are ingrained in our community and their animals - and we simply wouldn't have it any other way.

You will have everything at your fingertips to diagnose & work-up your cases in our fully equipped small animal hospital. Digital x-rays including dental, ultrasound, surgical theatre, intensive care, in-house lab, bair huggers...the list goes on!

Samford feels like a small country town but is really on the outskirts of Brisbane - only 25km from the city.  We are halfway between the Sunshine and Gold Coasts. We are home to some of the very best restaurants and coffee houses in Australia.  So many families have their own little piece of paradise on a couple of acres with a cat, a couple of dogs, a horse, and perhaps an alpaca or two.
