MANGALORE, SHIRE OF STRATHBOGIE - EQUINE
Yulong Stud has a position within the veterinary team of our business. Working alongside our four resident vets, you will cover all aspects of a thoroughbred stud.
Yulong is a growing thoroughbred stud based in Nagambie, Victoria. Spread over 3,000 acres and across four adjoining properties, Yulong currently has seven resident stallions and 700 broodmares with over 350 foals to yearlings. Consigning yearlings at all major sales throughout Australia, and a racing team of 200 plus horses gives the veterinarians great job variety and exposure to all aspects of the business.
The successful candidate will be a highly motivated and organised person who wishes to be part of a close-knit veterinary team as well as learning the structure and management of a thoroughbred stud. As we are currently in the development phase of two of the additional stud properties, you would be involved with input into set up and design of vet working areas within these properties.
The chosen candidate would be joining an established veterinary practice with two veterinary nurses and stud support staff. The veterinary team is a very friendly group with a strong passion to provide excellent patient care while still pursuing a good work life balance. With support from the other resident vets, you will share the on-call roster with the option of having four-day weeks in the months of May, June and July.
Yulong’s veterinary facilities include a full lab comprised of hematology, chemistry and blood gas machines along with the ability to do cultures and sensitivities. We also have portable ultrasound, digital radiograph and video endoscope machines. Additionally, our practice has strong relationships with nearby equine referral hospitals and therefore referral and additional support from internal medicine specialist, surgeons and theriogenologists is also available.
Reproduction would be the main focus during the breeding season and being proficient with scanning mares pre and post service, mid-trimester placental scans, pregnancy testing and twin ablation is essential. The ideal candidate will also have prior experience with emergency stud work, foal medicine, yearling endoscopy, and radiography as well as racehorse lameness. However, a veterinarian with less experience in the latter areas will still be considered as mentorship from the senior stud veterinarians will be available. We would encourage you to attend seminars and clinics to further your education in all fields of veterinary work and the company will provide financial support for this.
You would have the opportunity to attend yearling sales to oversee the veterinary care of our yearling draft whilst on the sale complex. As well as assisting management with yearling inspections and completing thorough pre purchase clinical examinations, reading pre-sale x-rays and evaluating pre-sale upper airway endoscopy videos.
We currently have a staff of 100 and the ability to effectively communicate as well as assist with ongoing education of the stud staff is vitally important to the growth of the business.
The breeding side of the operation is located the beautiful wine region of the lower Goulburn Valley. We are located a quick 1.5-hour drive or train ride into central Melbourne. A fifth property, Yulong Park, serves as the spelling farm for our racehorses and is located on the opposite side of Melbourne and is only a short drive away from the Mornington Peninsula.
If you are ambitious and wish to advance your career further, then this would be the ideal position for you.
Requirements:
- Degree in Veterinary Medicine/Science eligible for full veterinary registration in Victoria
- A candidate who has completed an equine internship will be given preference but is not essential
- Minimum of one year of equine reproduction focused work
- Victorian driver’s license
- Equal shared on-call
- Ability to work and communicate efficiently within a large team and fast paced environment to provide a high standard of veterinary care
Remuneration:
- Starting AU $140,000 annual salary (negotiable based on the candidate’s experience)
- 4-day work week May through July
- Four weeks annual leave
- One-week paid CE plus a contribution of $2,000 towards CE expenses per annum
- Superannuation
- Mobile phone, fully equipped work vehicle and laptop

MILDURA, NORTH-WEST - MIXED, SMALL ANIMAL ONLY WELCOME
Mildura Veterinary Hospital is a large, purpose-built practice within easy walking distance of the city centre in Mildura, VIC.
We are an independent, family-owned practice of 9 vets (8 FTE and 1 part-time) and are looking to expand our team – we would consider taking on up to FOUR new vets for the right applicants (three years ago we did just this – see our facebook page for details of the ‘fab four’).
We are a mostly small-animal practice, with the occasional large animal, and as such would be happy to take on EITHER a mixed animal veterinarian, OR a small animal only veterinarian.
Mildura is situated on the beautiful Murray River and is a 4 hour drive from Adelaide, and a 6 hour drive from Melbourne, and there are daily flights available also.
We are an AVA new graduate friendly practice, but all levels of experience welcome to apply, with salary negotiable (depending on experience).
The practice premises have recently undergone extensive renovations, with more to come in the immediate future. Currently we have 4 dedicated consulting rooms, a grooming room, a dedicated grieving/quiet room, separate dog and cat wards, separate large brand new isolation ward, a large separate sterile surgery with dual tables, separate radiology/ultrasound room, and large central treatment room with a wet table, and dual treatment/minor surgical tables.
We are very proud of our roster and working conditions which are very flexible. Most of our vets choose to work a 7 day per fortnight cycle (FTE – weekdays only, as we are closed on weekends) but this is negotiable and candidates are welcome to work shorter shifts Mon-Fri to make up FTE hours if this is preferable. Our emphasis is on an attractive and sustainable work life balance and for this reason, individual preferences and needs are always taken into account in all aspects of our practice. Time off is highly valued, and it is almost never a ‘no’ when a request for time away from the practice is made, whether this be for annual leave or other reasons.
We strive to provide a highly supportive environment for all staff – you will never be sole charge – one of the many benefits of being part of a large team. After hours is flexible and is shared evenly, and remuneration is excellent: up to 90% of professional fees are paid for work undertaken. Additionally, an RDO is accrued for every weekend covered on call. Support from one of the senior vets is always available, day or night. In addition, we use an external triage service for after hours calls which has reduced the number of calls by around 70%.
Our wonderful team of nurses are all either Certificate 4 qualified, or are currently enrolled in study. Our nurses are not just glorified cleaners, but rather play an active role in patient care and veterinary support – you can rely on them to monitor and report on your inpatients, ensure treatment schedules are carried out, take blood and urine samples and run diagnostics as requested, place IV catheters, set up for and assist with all procedures, and to provide continuous monitoring of your patients through surgery and into recovery, with dedicated one-on-one nurse-to-patient care ratio. Our two head nurses are not only cert 4 qualified but also each have their Diploma in general practice, and are currently undertaking further study.
Our aim is to to provide our patients and clients with the highest standards of veterinary care and attention achievable in general practice. We have a team oriented approach to our cases, and tackle a wide variety of medical and surgical challenges. We have a dedicated hospital nurse each day.
Referral is always offered to our clients for difficult cases, but being four hours from the nearest capital city means we have a unique opportunity to perform a variety of surgical procedures. We set a premium on pain management, preventative health care, and early behavioural modification, with puppy preschool courses run on site.
We have all the usual equipment found in general practice, including but not limited to;
- In-house laboratory: IDEXX VetLab Station: StatSpin, Catalyst Dx, ProCyte Dx, SediVue Dx, SNAPshot Dx. Brand new i4 microscope.
- Erbe VIO 3 electrocautery unit with both monopolar and bipolar instrumentation.
- Esaote MyLab Omega ultrasound
- Radincon DR xray
- Full range of orthopaedic instrumentation including TTA kit
- Oxygen generators
- Humidicrib and BAIR huggers
- Tonometry instrumentation
- IM3 Dental units (x 2)
- Vet Tome
- Surgical suction
Special interests are encouraged, and continued education is highly valued with generous course and conference expenses covered by the practice.
One of the current practice principals has a special interest in soft tissue surgery, and performs a reasonable amount of brachycephalic surgery including airway, skin fold, and screw tail surgery.
Dr Ian Japp, the previous practice principal, still works with us on a casual basis, coming in for orthopaedic surgeries as needed. An applicant with an interest in orthopaedics would, therefore, be supported and encouraged!
We are a supportive and social team and hold get togethers both inside and outside of work hours. We hold regular staff meetings, which are fully catered for by the practice.
Employment package includes:
- Salary well above Award: starting at $90,000 (plus super) for a new graduate, and higher for an experienced (1+years) vet.
- Relocation expenses covered, up to $5,000.
- Practice vehicle (Toyota Rav 4) available for the first six months, if needed.
- Furnished accommodation rent-free for the first 3 months, if needed.
- VSB Registration, VIN subscription, CVE membership, AVA membership, and radiation licence fees all covered by the practice for the first year.
We are happy to provide contact details of both our current, and past, veterinarians, upon request, so that you can find out for yourself what it is like to work at MVH.
For any questions, or to chat about the position please contact Dr Katherine Overs on 0423 467 331, or email katherineovers@gmail.com

Geelong Animal Emergency is looking for a veterinarian to join our team. We'd love to sit down and talk about who you are, and what's important to you.
Here is a bit about us.
We are Geelong Animal Emergency. We are a small but busy emergency hospital servicing Geelong, the Surf Coast and surrounding areas.
At our core, "we're here to help". We make sure this is at the forefront of our interactions with you, our team mates, our clients, our local vets and their pets. This is really important to us.
We are proud of our vibrant team of vets and nurses, who are friendly, welcoming, inquisitive and work hard to provide great emergency care. We are a community and we look after each other - and that's important to us. We choose staff members who add to this.

We're part of Advanced Vetcare, and we focus on being both a personally and professionally rewarding place to work. Being part of a large referral practice provides opportunities to work alongside our specialists, who just want to help you be your best. You will get exposure to cases that you will never see in general practice and find out how interesting they are.
We have lots of equipment that's fun to use and learn new skills with, including a great U/S, CT, digital X-ray, a ventilator, blood gas analysers, in-house coags and Idexx catalyst, along with a really interesting array of surgical tools to make surgery easier and fun.
We all want our staff to be the best that they can be, with a "have a go" mindset so that they can do great things for our clients and their pets. We support this by providing the environment, the tools, the training and the feedback that we all need to learn.
We are flexible. We look for great people and pay you well for your time. We give you plenty of opportunities to enjoy everything that the Surf Coast and the Otways have to offer - and only an hour from the Melbourne CBD.
Hours
We are really looking for Full time or Part time people but since many people are interested in casual employment- we are open to discussing that too.
- Our opening hours are from 5pm through to 10am weekdays, and we are open 24hrs over the weekends and public holidays.

We will be able to provide urgent and emergency care that is time critical, which currently has high risk for transportation mortality or poorer patient outcomes due to the delayed veterinary intervention.
Starting these services is an exciting time of growth for our hospital, and although this service is not established yet, it will be well received by the community and surrounding veterinary professionals alike.
