Start: July 2025
My Local Vet is an award winning, boutique small animal veterinary practice located in the leafy suburb of Capalaba, QLD. The clinic is privately owned and offers a premium veterinary service to the community. We’re a seriously FUN and supportive team with a focus on personal development & upskilling. We take great pride in the standard of care we provide to our patients – we’ve got all the equipment required to do a great job and the time to do it as well.
Thanks to “The Big Kahuna” AKA “The Old Guy” AKA “Is he still registered?” and his insatiable appetite for debt, we have a brand new, purpose-built, state-of-the-art veterinary facility that his kids will still be paying off long after he’s gone. Check out this feature article in Best Practice Magazine - there’s a photo of him sitting on some bald guy’s hand – so cute!

With 4 consult rooms, separate dog and cat wards, dental suite, surgical theatre, radiology room, huge treatment area, and a dedicated sunset room - you won't find yourself lacking places to hide when the vet asks you to help trim a pug's nails. There's even a hammock for your lunchbreak siesta and an individual sound system for each area so you can personalise your workspace! Check out our virtual clinic tour here: https://youtu.be/A0aAQUpARNs
Our nursing team actually get to nurse! After all, it’s what they were trained to do. Intubation, anaesthetic monitoring with the full suite of toys (capnography, oscillometric BP, ECG), radiology, professional descaling, nurse consultations, etc. They're not cleaning cages all day. Far from it, they're engaged in challenging, professionally-fulfilling work, and at the end of the day they don't have to worry about taking out bins or doing the floors – they leave that for the cleaners!
Our team have created a workplace culture that’s nothing short of inspirational. In fact, the University of Georgia (USA) uses My Local Vet as a model for teaching vet students about wonderful workplace culture! True story. We have three awesome team events a year. Next one on the calendar is dinner & cocktails here: https://tamadining.au all expenses paid.
