Our purpose-built Emergency & Referral hospital opened in Whittlesea in April 2026. Planned investments in medicine, oncology, CT, surgery and advanced referral capabilities will create opportunities for veterinarians looking to grow their skills and help shape the service.

Backed by Apiam Animal Health, you’ll benefit from a national veterinary network while working alongside experienced clinicians in a team that values collaboration, professional development and life outside work.
