Feedback from a locum veterinarian:

“Working with the team at the RSPCA Broken Hill was an absolute pleasure! I worked here as a locum vet and was instantly made to feel like a part of the team. The vets, nurses and support staff are a compassionate bunch of people who take a great deal of care with their patients. Being so remote, you see some really interesting cases and the clientele are generally extremely grateful for having such a high standard of care available to them. I would highly recommend this clinic to any vets keen for an outback adventure.”
