Emergency Veterinarian - full-time, part-time and casual positions available

Are you an experienced ECC veterinarian looking for an exciting opportunity in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne? We are excited to announce that we are opening an emergency service at our Advanced Vetcare Kew facility. This department will be in addition to our specialist medicine, surgery and oncology services.

Join Our Team

Our team includes multiple ANZCVS Emergency Membership veterinarians, many with 10+ years of emergency experience, who support our associate veterinarians, interns and skilled nursing team.

We pride ourselves on our ability to provide a reliable and high-quality service to both the public and our referring vet clinics. We foster a collaborative environment with an emphasis on teamwork and learning. We are committed to high standards of customer and patient care and maintaining a sustainable work-life balance.

Why Advanced Vetcare?

Advanced Vetcare has been delivering veterinary referral and emergency services to Melbourne's pets for almost 20 years from our Kensington site. We are excited that Advanced Vetcare Kew will be offering a 24-hour emergency service to join our multidisciplinary team of specialists in Surgery, Internal Medicine and Oncology from October 2024.

Our Kew hospital is a state-of-the-art, purpose-built 24-hour ECC and referral facility which is fantastically located in the inner eastern suburbs along the main Yarra trail. Great if you plan to ride your bike to work or enjoy eating your lunch by the river.

We are proud, independently-owned veterinary hospitals with a commitment to the highest standards of veterinary care and customer service. We exist as an extension of our referring vet practices for the joint care of shared patients. Join a team that values its people and sees diversity and inclusion as more than just policy.

You will have access to advanced medical technology, including intensive care ventilators, blood gas analysis, cage-side ltrasound, and on-site CT. Our vets and nurses work collaboratively to provide excellent patient care.
