Graduate Small Animal Veterinarian – Gympie Veterinary Services
Full time
New Graduate Small Animal Veterinarian
Commencing early ****
Gympie Veterinary Services is a well-regarded mixed veterinary practice that has been serving the local community for over 40 years. During that time we have grown and evolved and pride ourselves on providing high-quality veterinary care to the Gympie region.
Our newly renovated main hospital is an impressive facility with multiple consult rooms, surgical suites, and treatment and recovery areas. The clinic is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools, such as digital X‐ray, ultrasound machine, advanced dental equipment and in‐house lab machines. We also have branch clinics in Tin Can Bay and Murgon.
We are fortunate to work with a loyal and engaged community of small animal owners who trust us with their pets' care. Our clinic is known for delivering a high standard of service, with the capability to diagnose and treat the majority of cases in-house thanks to our advanced equipment and experienced veterinary team.
Gympie offers the best of both worlds:
The convenience and amenities of a regional town
Easy access to the stunning Queensland coastline
A friendly, welcoming, and close‐knit community
About the position:
Full‐time position
100% Companion Animal
After hours (when you are ready) is shared amongst the staff and well remunerated – and is only until 10pm and after 7am, supported by a Teletriage service to filter calls
About you:
We're looking for an enthusiastic and well‐rounded new graduate veterinarian who:
Is passionate about regional practice — keen to build a career somewhere you know your clients and their animals by name, and where your work visibly matters to the town
Wants to be part of a close‐knit team — someone who is comfortable asking for a second opinion, a hand in surgery, or a sanity check on a tricky consult
Is keen to get hands‐on with our equipment and to work up cases properly rather than send the engaging ones elsewhere




Wants a broad companion animal caseload — routine desexings and dentals through to medicine work‐ups and the odd surprise that walks in the door in a regional town
Takes feedback on board, asks questions early rather than late, and will make the most of a mentor who has time for them
Has strong communication skills and can talk to clients honestly and warmly, including through the difficult conversations — many of our Gympie families have been with us for generations, and the relationship matters as much as the medicine
Is compassionate — with patients, owners, and with the team working alongside them
Graduate support and mentoring:
We know the first years out are the ones that shape your career, so you won't be doing it alone. As a graduate with Gympie Veterinary Services and the wider Apiam network, you'll have:
A dedicated mentor from day one
, with structured check‐ins, case discussions and support on the floor as you find your feet
Access to the Apiam Graduate Retreat
, bringing grads from across the network together for hands‐on learning, skills sessions and peer connection (and a whole lot of fun)
Monthly coaching sessions to debrief, work through cases and set goals
Additional CPD allowance over and above our standard offering, plus access to Apiam's internal training programs and clinical webinars
A supportive team of experienced veterinarians and nurses
who are always happy to be asked a question
Salary and Benefits:
Base salary $75,000 + super + on call pay (50% of professional fees)
Paid VSB registration + professional membership support
Paid parental leave beyond government schemes
As well as benefits to help you manage your work‐life balance including:
