About us

EVH does not run with KPI’s. We think they stifle development and negatively affect veterinarian’s growth. The competitive nature of KPIs is the very core of what we don’t like surrounding the veterinary environment.

We value teamwork, kindness and respect towards self, each other and the community we serve.

We encourage international applicants and financially support with relocation and visa costs. The temporary skills shortage visa enables approved veterinarians to work in Australia with approved sponsorship in three streams.

In 2022 the expanded hospital was completed and we now offer:

• New purpose-built intensive care ward with oxygen cages, generators and ventilator. Including an incubator for small patients
• New SmartFlow for patient management within the hospital
• New dedicated imaging room with new GE Logiq P9 ultrasound https://www.gehealthcare.com.au/products/ultrasound/logiq/logiq-p9
