​
Please ONLY apply for this position if YOU are a TRUE Team Player wishing to excel each and every day.
What we do:
We are a well established, and progressive practice known for delivering excellent patient outcomes in a warm and friendly environment. With over 10 years of history we are continuing to expand our services due to a popular following amongst patients, veterinary referrers, strong networks and an excellent community reputation.
​
Our practice is at the forefront of integrative veterinary practice in Western Australia, providing an opportunity to work in one of WA’s first practices offering rehab and hydrotherapy services in addition to traditional veterinary services. We provide a positive workplace, in a stimulating learning environment, with fantastic clientele.
​
Our patients and their best outcome is our primary focus, and providing individual treatment plans rather than a “one size fits all” approach to their veterinary care underpins everything that we do. With that in mind, medicines and products are chosen based on the patient’s best interests, rather than what may provide the clinic with the most reward benefits.
