- Emergency & Critical Care
- Internal Medicine
- Surgery
- Hospital Care
- Oncology
- Cardiology
- And more!
Each rotation gives you dedicated time within the service, allowing you to become part of the team, develop department-specific skills and gain hands-on experience with a diverse and interesting caseload.
Throughout the program, you'll work alongside experienced veterinary nurses, veterinarians, interns, residents and specialists who will support your learning and development.
The goal? To help you progress from a nurse who is new to the specialist environment to one who feels confident, capable and ready to take the next step in their veterinary nursing career.

About you
We're looking for nurses who are enthusiastic about developing their careers and aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zone.
You don't need previous specialist or emergency experience. That's what the internship is here to help you develop.
To be considered, you'll need:
- A Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing OR Bachelor of Veterinary Technology
- A minimum of one year of full-time veterinary nursing experience within general practice, or equivalent experience.

Rural Veterinary Services, Naracoorte, Limestone Coast region, SA (posted 14th August)
Exceptional Veterinary Nurse
Rural Veterinary Services - Naracoorte South Australia
Do you believe great nursing changes patient outcomes?
Do you want to work somewhere your skills are trusted, valued and genuinely appreciated?
Looking for a team where everyone has each other's back - and where you'll go home knowing you made a difference?
If you answered yes...
...keep reading.
At Rural Veterinary Services, we're not simply looking for another Veterinary Nurse. We're looking for someone who believes nursing is a profession - not just a job.
Someone who notices the patient that's just a little quieter than normal.
Who gently reassures an anxious client before they've even asked the question.
Who understands that exceptional veterinary medicine isn't created by one great veterinarian......it's created by an exceptional team.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
About Us
We're proud to be one of regional South Australia's leading mixed animal practices, caring for everything from beloved family pets to livestock that support local families and businesses.
Every day is different.
One moment you'll be monitoring an anaesthetic, the next helping a worried family through a difficult decision, assisting with an emergency, supporting our veterinarians in surgery, or caring for a hospital patient that needs a little extra attention.
It's the variety that keeps every day interesting.
More importantly...
It's the people that make us special.
We've worked hard to build a culture where kindness comes naturally, teamwork isn't just something written on the wall, and everyone is respected for what they bring to the practice.
Because life is too short to spend it working somewhere you don't enjoy coming to each morning.
Please click here to see photos!
Our Kind of Veterinary Nurse...
...treats every patient as if they were their own.
...doesn't wait for problems—they prevent them.
...is the calm voice when clients are anxious.
...knows that great nursing is often invisible because the little things are done so well.
...is curious enough to keep learning and humble enough to know there's always more to learn.
...understands that medicine heals patients, but compassion heals families.
...believes that excellence isn't something you switch on when someone is watching—it's simply how you work.
What You'll Find Here
We know that great veterinary nurses don't stay because of free coffee.
They stay because they're respected.
Because they're encouraged to grow.
Because they're trusted.
Because they laugh with their teammates every day.
Because they know they're making a genuine difference.
That's the kind of workplace we've worked hard to build.
And we're looking for someone who wants to help make it even better.

Pets Health - O'Halloran Hill Veterinary Centre, Southern Adelaide, SA (posted 11th August)
Experienced Veterinary Nurse Wanted | O'Halloran Hill Vet Centre | Full-time
Are you an experienced vet nurse looking for a clinic where your skills are valued, your team has your back, and your weekends are actually yours?
O'Halloran Hill Vet Centre is looking for a full-time Experienced Veterinary Nurse to join our close-knit team.
Before you keep reading, let's answer the important questions first:
- The clinic closes at 6pm everything night
- No weekends
- No after-hours
- No on-call
Honestly, it's a lifestyle we've become very attached to. 🎉
This is not a sink-or-swim clinic. You'll be working alongside experienced nurses and support staff who genuinely help each other, share the load, and understand that some days in vet medicine are wonderfully unpredictable.
One minute you're monitoring an anaesthetic, the next you're taking dental X-rays, cuddling a nervous puppy, updating a worried owner, or convincing a Labrador that nail clips are not, in fact, a personal betrayal.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Experienced in veterinary nursing
- Confident with surgery and anaesthetic monitoring
- Passionate about patient care and dentistry
- Kind, organised, and a great communicator
- Positive and supportive of their teammates
At O'Halloran Hill Vet Centre, we work hard, laugh a lot, keep learning, and believe a great team culture is just as important as great medicine.
If you're looking for a rewarding nursing role with real work-life balance and a team that genuinely enjoys coming to work, we'd love to hear from you.
Ready to join the O'Halloran Hill Vet Centre crew?
