Full time, above award based on experience

Would you love to practice medicine the way you always hoped you could, with time to do things properly and a team that has your back?

Avoca Drive Animal Hospital is Australia’s first fully Fear Free Certified veterinary hospital. We are a close-knit small animal practice in Erina, on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW, a region loved for its beaches and relaxed lifestyle, and a lovely place to live and work. Our philosophy is simple: Curating Joyful Longevity for every pet and family we care for.

What makes working here different
Calm, low-stress patients. Fear Free methods, pre-visit medications and gentle handling mean safer, happier consults for pets and for you.
Nurses who carry the load. Our nurses manage pharmacy, labelling, set-up, records, consents and client communication, so you can focus on medicine.
Best-practice medicine, never assumptions. We recommend the right diagnostics and care for every patient, with structured rechecks.
Loyal,



devoted clients who value excellent care.
A supportive owner who is a vet and understands the job.
