Associate Veterinarian | Tuggeranong Veterinary Hospital

Canberra, ACT | Full-Time or Part-Time

Great veterinary medicine starts with a outstanding team.

At Tuggeranong Veterinary Hospital, we've spent over 30 years building something we're proud of – a well-established, highly regarded small animal hospital with experienced clinical leaders, a fantastic support team and a culture of respect and collaboration.

We're looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our team, and we're open to conversations with vets at different stages of their careers. Whether you're looking for mentorship, opportunities to develop your clinical interests or an established hospital that gives you the autonomy and support to do your best work, TVH has plenty to offer.

What makes TVH different?

- Clinical leadership that supports you

Our two Lead Veterinarians bring a combined 40 years of experience to the hospital. They encourage clinical autonomy, trust their vets to make decisions and are always available for guidance and support when needed. Both work full time across surgery and consultations.

We have dedicated daily veterinary rounds between 10–11am, creating regular opportunities for case discussions, collaboration and shared learning. There's also a particular interest in mentoring vets in diagnostic imaging, for those keen to develop their skills.

And importantly, there's a genuine sense of humour and camaraderie among the team. We take our patient care seriously, but we also enjoy working together.

- The operational support to focus on being a vet

We know that a well-run hospital makes an enormous difference to your working day.

At Tuggeranong, we've invested in the people and processes that allow our vets to concentrate on clinical care:

- Protected administration time built into the working day for prescriptions and notes
- A dedicated triage nurse supporting patient care and clinical workflow
- Experienced,



long-standing nursing and reception leaders who provide consistency and continuity
- A strong administration team ensuring the hospital is organised, well-resourced and running efficiently

It's a genuinely team-based approach where everyone plays an important role in delivering excellent patient care.

- Work-life balance to support you

With no after-hours or sole charge requirements, a 9-day fortnight for full-time vets and flexibility for part-time arrangements, we recognise the importance of having a fulfilling career alongside life outside work.

- A hospital equipped to deliver excellent care

Our modern, purpose-built small animal hospital has a comprehensive range of diagnostic and clinical equipment, including:

- Digital radiography and Doppler ultrasound
- Flexible and rigid endoscopy
- Dedicated dental suite
- Comprehensive IDEXX in-house laboratory
- ECG, pulse oximetry and blood pressure monitoring equipment

We're also proud to have been recognised as Vets Central Practice of the Year, reflecting the dedication and commitment of our team.

What else can you expect?

- Full-time or part time opportunities, including a 9-day fortnight for full-time vets
- No after-hours or sole charge
- Generous professional development allowance and one week's paid study leave annually
- Paid Veterinary Board registration, radiation licence and VIN membership
- Access to our You're Pawesome long-term incentive program
- Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance for eligible candidates

We know that finding the right veterinary role is about more than equipment, rosters and benefits. It's about finding a team you enjoy being part of, leaders who have your back and an environment where you can do your best work.

If that sounds like what you're looking for, we'd love to have a conversation!
