Equine Veterinarian Required.

We are a mobile equine clinic servicing the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley which is on the south eastern side of Melbourne in Victoria. We have the best of both worlds as we are close enough to the city to be able to have easy access to it but far enough away as to enjoy the country lifestyle.

They must have good communication skills and want to practice at an exceptionally high standard of care for our patients and clients. Although the case load is mainly equine it does involve work with some cattle, alpaca, pig etc. We would like the applicant to have some equine reproduction skills. The clinic has digital x-ray, ultrasound, endoscope, motorized dental gear, and a car will also be provided.

Usual working week will be four days plus equally shared after hours and weekends. Occasionally fifth working day required during periods of high demand - (Holidays.) We can look at overseas applicants as we are already registered for this.

SOUTHWEST WA - LARGE ANIMAL VETERINARY POSITION

Would you like the opportunity to get away from the stress of small animal and enjoy large animal practice at its best? Rosabrook Veterinary Services is a rapidly growing large animal practice in the heart of the beautiful Margaret River wine region.

45% cattle, 45% equine, 10% sheep/hobby case load. We aim to provide a high quality comprehensive service supporting the dairy, and beef industries.
Our dairy caseload consists of large (1000 cow) share farms and smaller family owned farms. A practice philosophy is to use modern technology and ingenuity to maximise productivity whilst reducing physical effort and stress. We currently use ultrasound pregnancy testing for approximately 70% of our pregnancy testing.
Our equine clients are also very important to us, and we are developing our practice to ensure that dental, and stud services are provided. We have recently acquired powered equine dental tools, and further study in this area is anticipated. A horse crush has also been installed for dental and reproductive work. Our equine caseload consists of generally quiet and well mannered pleasure and competition horses.
We seek a true large animal vet with a love of both cattle and horse work. As much as experience in both species is preferable, basic experience and a strong desire to develop in weaker areas is essential. The ability to specialize into specific areas is encouraged, although solid skills in routine large animal work will be necessary.
Margaret River is approximately 3 hours southwest of Perth; it offers beautiful beaches, wineries and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle.
