Associate Emergency Veterinarian
Casey Pet Emergency
Job Description
🚨 Associate Emergency Veterinarian – Casey Pet Emergency 🚨
📍 South-East Melbourne
🗓 Start Date: September–October 2025
We’re expanding, evolving, and on the lookout for an enthusiastic Associate Emergency Veterinarian to join our amazing team!
This opportunity has opened up as two of our incredible senior vets step away—one to welcome a new baby 🍼, the other to embark on six months of travel ✈️. So now, we’re seeking someone who’s ready to dive into an exciting and diverse emergency caseload, backed by a supportive, fun-loving, and highly skilled team.
✨ Why Join Casey Pet Emergency?
We’ve created something special—and we’re proud of it.
Our brand-new, purpose-built emergency facility is designed to optimise patient outcomes, minimise client stress, and support efficient, satisfying clinical workflows.
What you’ll find:
✅ A spacious treatment zone
✅ Fully equipped ICU
✅ Ventilator-ready surgical suite
✅ Negative-pressure isolation ward
✅ Smooth flow from triage to diagnostics to inpatient care
And we’re proudly tech-forward, using integrated cloud-based systems like EzyVet, SmartFlow, and Modeus to streamline compliance and record-keeping—so you can spend less time typing and more time doing what you love.
You’ll also be supported by a highly trained, technically savvy nursing team who are committed to excellence in patient care and are genuinely fun to work with. Our standards are high—and we like it that way.
🐾 What You’ll Be Doing
You'll be managing a range of emergency presentations—medical, surgical, and everything in between.
You’ll work collaboratively with our nursing and vet teams, managing your own cases with autonomy but never without backup. It’s a fast-paced environment perfect for someone who thrives on challenge, enjoys variety, and wants to continually sharpen their clinical edge.
✅ What We’re Looking For:
- At least 3 years’ clinical experience, ideally with emergency exposure
- Strong surgical skills are a big plus
- Eligible for veterinary registration in Victoria
- Confidence managing emergency cases independently—or the drive to learn fast
- Excellent communicator who can break down complex cases (like snake envenomation’s and GDVs) with calm clarity
- Strong attention to detail when it comes to clinical records and compliance
- A team-first attitude and appetite for continual learning and development
🎁 What You’ll Get
- Generous Pay and incentives
- Flexible, sustainable shift structures
- A supportive, energised team who love a challenge and celebrate wins together
- Structured onboarding and mentorship from experienced ECC vets
- In-house clinical reviews, case tutorials, M&M rounds, and ongoing education to help you grow
- Generous CPD allowance, plus enrolment in the Improve International Accelerated Emergency Program for vets new to ECC
- Career development pathways tailored to your interests
- Your own MacBook Air for seamless record-keeping
- Great coffee, regular snacks, team events, Christmas parties, and lots of laughs
💬 Sound Like a Fit?
This is your chance to join a progressive, patient-first emergency facility with a rock-solid team, a beautiful clinic, and the systems and support to let you thrive.
