Animal Dermatology Specialist, Brisbane (posted 8th September) Dermatology Nurse
Veterinary Dermatology Nurse, Brisbane
Underwood | Kenmore | Albany Creek
Full time or part time | Four-day full-time week available | Weekday daytime hours | No weekends, public holidays, after-hours or on-call | $35 to $40 per hour plus 12% super and 17.5% annual leave loading
If you have nursed in dermatology before, or you are an experienced veterinary nurse curious about the field, we would like to hear from you.
Skin and ear problems are familiar to almost every veterinary nurse. In referral dermatology, you work with those cases in much greater depth, and many of the patients referred to us have complex or chronic disease that needs ongoing management rather than a single course of treatment. You may follow the same dog or cat for years, see them through flare-ups, help their owners make treatment manageable at home, and see the difference as a patient who has lived with ongoing discomfort or pain becomes comfortable again, and their owner gets their pet back.
The clinical nursing component of the role is both hands-on and technically varied, combining diagnostic work with sedation, anaesthesia and specialist procedures. As much of what we treat is long term, it is also a role built on relationships with owners and referring clinics. A clear training plan begins during onboarding and is tailored to what you already know.
The team you'll join
Dermatology is all we do. Animal Dermatology Specialist is an independently owned and operated referral practice led by Dr Evie Knight, a dual board-certified veterinary dermatologist. Our clinical team includes two specialists, a registrar, a resident and an experienced dermatology nursing team working across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Townsville.
We work alongside general practices and multidisciplinary specialist hospitals across Queensland, and they trust us with complex skin and ear cases. We are looking to expand and are recruiting nurses for this Brisbane position.
This role works across our Underwood, Kenmore and Albany Creek clinics. Your schedule will be discussed with you during the recruitment process.
What you'll do
Depending on your experience and progress through training, your work will include:
- Performing intradermal allergy testing under direction of our dermatology vets
- Initiating and managing allergen-specific immunotherapy, including rush induction protocols
- Nursing sedated and anaesthetised patients through preparation, monitoring and recovery of video otoscopy, complex ear flushing, biopsies and CO2 laser procedures
- Collecting and preparing cytology samples and helping identify common findings
- Helping owners understand and follow their pet's treatment plan, including medication and skin and ear treatments at home
Administration duties, including record keeping, bookings, updates to referring vets and GapOnly claims, are part of the role too, and we all share them.
How we'll train you
We have a structured dermatology nurse training program in place, which starts with understanding what you already know and plans your training from there. You will have time and supervision for unfamiliar work, and the skills you already have will be recognised. Training is organised around how much supervision you need: routine checking at first, then limited oversight as you take on the full range of dermatology nursing and become fluent in our systems and processes. Your pay band follows that progression.
You will work alongside an experienced and supportive dermatology nursing team who are used to bringing new nurses into the specialty. Our senior nurses each have between four and nine years of dermatology experience. If dermatology is new to you, they will take you through it step by step. If you already have dermatology experience, your onboarding will focus on our systems, equipment and the areas you would like to develop further, and you will work across the full breadth of the specialty, including rush immunotherapy, venom desensitisation and CO2 laser surgery, alongside our clinicians.
Hours and benefits
- Full-time hours are preferred for this role, and they can be worked over four or five weekdays. However, part-time arrangements with a minimum of three days per week will also be considered
- No weekend, public holiday, after-hours or on-call work.
- FIGS uniform provided
- Access to a comprehensive staff discount app covering a wide range of everyday stores
- Employee Assistance Program
- Access to colleagues trained in Mental Health First Aid
- Several other benefits we can talk through with you
Remuneration guide:
- Experienced nurse new to dermatology: $35 to $37 per hour. The step to the next band comes when you are carrying out the full range of dermatology nursing responsibilities with limited supervision and without routine checking of your work, and you are working confidently within our systems and processes. That step and its expected timing will be set out in your offer, so the general guide for your progression is provided before you start
- Specialty dermatology-experienced nurse: $38 to $40 per hour, for nurses who already work independently across dermatology nursing. The upper end is reserved for our most senior dermatology nurses, who understand our systems and processes, own an area of our clinical work or operations, and can guide and lead the development of other nurses new to dermatology across our sites
Where you start within a band depends on the dermatology and general nursing experience you bring and how much supervision you will need at the outset, and we will talk that through with you before an offer is made. Moving up is about the independence you demonstrate, not time served.
If you are a nurse who is open to working across all of our locations on a more flexible roster, let us know. It is not a requirement of the role, but a flexibility loading is paid on top of your hourly rate for as long as that arrangement is in place, and it is set out in your offer.
What we're looking for
- Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or an equivalent qualification
- Sound clinical nursing skills, with two or more years of experience preferred
- Clear, professional communication with owners, colleagues and veterinarians
- An interest in client education, which is an important part of dermatology nursing
- The organisational skills to balance procedures, nurse appointments and case administration
- A current driver's licence and willingness to work across the three clinic locations
Previous dermatology experience is welcome, but it is not required. We also welcome nurses from general practice and other referral disciplines.
How to apply
Email your CV and a few lines about why dermatology interests you to Samantha, our Nurse Manager, at careers@animalderm.com.au. A formal cover letter is not required.
We read applications as they arrive. If you would prefer to speak with Samantha before applying, call 0402 237 237 and ask for her.

Wilston Vet Surgery, Windsor, Inner North Brisbane (posted 3rd September)
Vet Nurse | Brisbane | 4-Day Week
We’re not looking for someone to fill a seat. We’re looking for someone who wants to help build something.
We’re a Brisbane GP veterinary clinic in an exciting stage of growth — building a team, refining how we work, and creating a practice we can be genuinely proud of for the long term.
We’re growing our team, developing our systems, investing in our equipment and creating a practice where great patient care and great people can genuinely coexist.
And we’re looking for a Vet Nurse who wants to be part of that from the ground up.
This isn’t a role where you’ll simply turn up, do what you’re told and go home.
We want someone who brings experience, confidence, ideas and initiative. Someone who cares about doing things well, enjoys being part of a team and wants to have a genuine voice in how we continue to build the practice.
Our Head Nurse is highly experienced across both GP and emergency nursing, with particular strength in anaesthesia. She’s the kind of person who will genuinely invest in you, share her knowledge and support your development.
What we offer
- 4-day working week — because five days is last century.
- Above-award salary — reflecting your experience and genuine senior-level capability.
- Rotating Saturday roster — weekends exist, but you’ll still get most of them.
- Paid public holidays — because everyone deserves a public holiday.
- Very limited overtime — we’re honest that occasionally the day runs over, but it’s actively managed rather than treated as “just part of vet nursing”. With emergency clinics nearby, after-hours pressure doesn’t fall on you.
- Free CPD — including online access and a dedicated training facility.
- Meaningful staff pet discounts — actually meaningful. Not 10% off a bag of kibble.
- Real scope of practice — nurse-led consults, clinical input, protocol development and opportunities to build your skills.
- A practice manager who genuinely prioritises staff wellbeing — not as a poster on the wall, but in the decisions we make.
- Wraparound support — from your Practice Manager, Lead Vet, Head Nurse and wider team. You won’t be left to figure things out alone.
- A chance to help shape the practice — your experience and ideas will actually influence how we grow.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has 2+ years of qualified GP veterinary nursing experience
- Is confident working independently
- Has solid clinical nursing skills and enjoys using them
- Is comfortable with anaesthesia, surgery, hospital nursing and general GP duties
- Communicates brilliantly with clients, vets and other nurses
- Enjoys mentoring and supporting junior team members
- Takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about patient outcomes
- Is proactive and happy to take ownership
- Isn’t afraid to ask questions or challenge the status quo
- Actively contributes ideas and isn’t afraid to say, “What if we did this differently?”
- Wants to build something for the long term rather than simply looking for the next 12 months
- Cares about being part of a team and contributing to the wider community
You don’t need to know everything. You just need to be someone who wants to keep learning, contribute, and make things better.
A word on culture
We’re not perfect — and we’ll say that plainly.
We’re a newer team deliberately building for long-term success. That means we’re still refining, still improving, still figuring some things out and genuinely open to being made better by the right people.
And honestly, we like that.
We want people who are comfortable saying:
“What if we tried this?”
“I think we could do that better.”
“Have we considered…?”
Because the right person joining us won’t just slot into the team. They’ll help shape it.
If you get energy from that kind of environment, we’d love to hear from you.
Ready to be part of it?
If you’re a Vet Nurse looking for a role where you can use your skills, have a voice, develop your career and actually help shape the practice around you, we’d genuinely love to hear from you.
Apply with your updated resume and let’s have a confidential conversation about whether we might be the right fit for each other to: steph.dealmeida@vet.partners
We’re building something pretty special. Come help us build it.

Opening on 30 November 2026, Hope Island Central Vet is a brand-new purpose-built companion animal clinic being established in one of the Gold Coast's fastest growing communities.
This is a rare opportunity to help establish a role that remains relatively uncommon within Australian private practice while becoming part of a clinic designed around collaboration, community and high-quality patient care.
A Community Clinic Built for Modern Veterinary Care
Hope Island Central Vet has been purpose built from the ground up, combining contemporary design, advanced equipment and thoughtfully designed workflows to support excellent veterinary care.
We're creating a welcoming, community focused clinic where strong client relationships, teamwork and a positive workplace culture are at the heart of everything we do.
We'll open with a close-knit team of veterinarians, nurses, client care professionals and a Veterinary Technologist, all working together to create something special from day one.
Advanced Imaging. Local Support. Endless Opportunity.
One of the most exciting features of Hope Island Central Vet will be its advanced imaging capability, including an onsite CT machine.
This will provide expanded diagnostic and treatment opportunities for patients while creating exciting professional development opportunities for our veterinary team.
The clinic will work closely alongside Sanctuary Cove Vet and Ormeau Vet, creating a collaborative local network where veterinarians, nurses and support teams can share knowledge, discuss cases and support one another.
Together, these clinics will provide an outstanding blend of community focused care, advanced diagnostics and clinical collaboration across the northern Gold Coast.

- Diagnostic laboratory procedures
- Imaging and diagnostic support
- Medical and surgical patient care
- Client education and communication
- Clinical protocols and workflow improvement
- Supporting evidence based veterinary practice

About You
You will have:
- A Bachelor of Veterinary Technology or equivalent qualification
- Strong clinical and technical skills
- Experience in diagnostics, patient monitoring and imaging
- Excellent communication skills
- A passion for learning and evidence-based practice
Most importantly, you'll be excited by the opportunity to help build something new.
Proudly Part of Apiam Animal Health
While Hope Island Central Vet will have its own identity, you'll be supported by the resources, expertise and opportunities that come with being part of Apiam Animal Health.
Before opening, you'll participate in a structured induction program and work alongside experienced operational, leadership and clinical teams to help set both you and the clinic up for long term success.
What We Offer
- A rare opportunity to establish a dedicated Veterinary Technologist role within private companion animal practice
- A modern purpose-built clinic equipped with advanced technology, including CT

- Structured induction and onboarding prior to opening

We are looking for an experienced veterinary nurse who takes genuine pride in providing a consistently high standard of patient care, and we are willing to pay generously for the right person.
This position would suit someone who understands that excellent nursing is often found in the details: carefully checking anaesthetic machines and breathing circuits, closely monitoring patients, noticing subtle changes, completing tasks thoroughly, and promptly bringing any concerns to the attention of the attending veterinarian.
Our established nursing team is conscientious, observant and highly invested in the wellbeing of every patient. We are looking for someone who shares those standards and who appreciates working in an environment where colleagues respectfully help one another maintain them.
The Postion:
This is a full-time role consisting of four 9.5-hour shifts per week, allowing for three days off each week.
There are:
No regularly rostered Saturdays
No Sundays
No after-hours work
On rare occasions, assistance on a Saturday may be requested if one of our weekend veterinary nurses is unwell or on leave.
You will always be rostered alongside other veterinary nurses and veterinarians, with colleagues available to assist, discuss cases and share the workload.
What matters to us:
At Toowong Family Vet, we love what we do, but we also take our responsibility for patient care very seriously. We value nurses who:
- Are thorough, observant and dependable
- Maintain high standards even during busy periods
