Company Description
On the southern Gold Coast, just minutes from the sand, local cafes and that Palm Beach village feel, our clinic is busy, well-regarded, and known for consistently high clinical standards. We have a stable team of vets and nurses who care deeply about doing things properly, and we’re ready for a Veterinary Director who can set the clinical tone, coach with clarity, and keep the day running with calm purpose.
Take a quick walk through Palm Beach clinic and meet the space you’ll be leading.

What sets us apart is the combination of a busy, varied caseload and a settled, collaborative team who enjoy working together. We value evidence-based medicine, strong communication and leadership that is present on the floor, not removed from it.

-
Ultrasound and digital X-ray
