Park Ridge Animal Hospital & Browns Plains Vet Surgery

One of our wonderful vets, who started with us as a new graduate in 2019, is heading off to the USA for an exciting new chapter. While we’ll miss him, it opens a fantastic opportunity for someone new to join our team!

Whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced vet looking for part-time hours, we’d love to hear from you.

🏥 What Makes Us Special

• A Beautiful, Purpose-Built Clinic
  We’ve just completed a major renovation! Think: a dedicated dental suite, two sterile surgeries, seven consult rooms, a spacious vet office and lunchroom. Many visitors say it’s one of the best GP clinics they’ve seen.
  📸 Take a look at our clinic
• Supportive Team Environment
  With 7–8 vets rostered each weekday, 3 on Saturdays, and 2 on Sundays, you’ll never feel alone tackling a tricky case.
• Amazing Nurses & Receptionists
  Our nursing and support team are highly trained, proactive, and genuinely enjoy working alongside our vets to keep the day running smoothly.

  No rushing between consults—we value quality care and time to do things properly.

  Recent sessions have covered dentistry, CPR, emergency care, radiology, anaesthesia, snake bites, and tick paralysis. We also run a structured ultrasound training program led by our skilled team.

  We plan 3–6 months ahead so you can plan life outside of work.
• All the Equipment You’d Expect
  Plus a team culture that genuinely wants you to thrive.

💬 Hear From One of Our Vets

“I joined PRAH in mid-2020 after hearing great things from both GP and specialist vets. The team is welcoming and supportive, and you get time to properly work up cases. Mental health is genuinely valued, and CE is a priority. The nurses are skilled and trustworthy, and rosters are planned months ahead. If you want a workplace that’s supportive, interesting, and enjoyable—this is it.”
