About us
Cooroora Veterinary Clinic is a family owned & run mixed veterinary practice which has been operating in Cooroy for more than 65 years, the last 25 being with the current owner. The practice has become the largest mixed practice on the Sunshine Coast. We are open 7 days a week and pride ourselves on encouraging a positive and supportive working environment with a culture of teamwork and inclusion.

We have a well-established diverse client base from all over the Sunshine Coast and beyond. Our small animal clinic caseload is approximately 90% canine, made up of routine consultations through to complex medical and surgical cases.
The clinic is purpose built and fully equipped with the modern tools of the trade which include high quality ultrasounds, digital radiology, dental machines, in-house laboratory (Idexx ProCyte haematology, Catalyst biochemistry, Vetstat blood gasses, and Abaxis coagulation, Sedivue, portable SAA readers, blood lactate), video endoscopes, extensive surgical equipment and other goodies. Our clinic utilises RxWorks practice management software. We have a diversified and experienced team consisting of ten veterinarians, a practice manager and 12 veterinary nurses, most of whom are Cert IV or Vet Tech's. We have 4 vets who are members of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists in various chapters (Small animal medicine, Small animal surgery, Equine medicine, Equine dentistry) and encourage life-long learning and will support and mentor new staff members to do the same.
