GOOLWA, FLEURIEU PENINSULA - SMALL ANIMAL
Full-time or part-time | Goolwa, South Australia
Imagine beginning your morning with a drive along the Fleurieu Peninsula, arriving at a clinic where the team knows one another, clients genuinely value their local vet, and no two days look quite the same.
After work, the coast is yours. You might wander along the beach, explore nearby wineries, spend the afternoon in Victor Harbor or simply enjoy the kind of space and slower pace that can be difficult to find closer to the city.
At Vets First Riverport, this could be your everyday.
More than a new role, a coastal change.
Located in Goolwa, just 18 kilometres from Victor Harbor, Riverport Vet Hospital cares for pets and families across the Fleurieu Peninsula.
This is a beautiful part of South Australia to call home: coastal, community-minded and surrounded by beaches, walking trails, local produce and plenty to explore. It offers the relaxed lifestyle of a regional town while still keeping Adelaide within reach.
We know this opportunity may mean making a move. For the right veterinarian, we are open to discussing intrastate relocation assistance to help make that transition easier. Visa sponsorship and a relocation allowance may also be available to eligible interstate or international candidates.
Please click here to see photos!
Picture yourself in the clinic
You arrive to a warm welcome from a close-knit team who genuinely want you to succeed.
Throughout the day, you are surrounded by experienced veterinarians who enjoy sharing their knowledge, talking through cases and helping others build confidence. Mentoring here is not simply something included in an advertisement — it is part of how the team works.
You may be working through an interesting medical case, developing your surgical skills or learning alongside colleagues with advanced capabilities, including orthopedic surgery. There is experience around you to learn from, but also space to bring your own interests, ideas and strengths to the clinic.
As a fear-free clinic, we are thoughtful about the experience of every patient who walks through our doors. Compassionate handling, considered care and positive patient experiences are important to the way we practice medicine.
Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to become a valued veterinarian within a community that truly needs you.
A role designed around the right person.
We are open to welcoming either:
- One full-time veterinarian, or
- Two part-time veterinarians
We understand that the right role looks different for everyone. Whether you are seeking a full-time sea change, a part-time position that leaves room for life outside work, or greater flexibility in your week, we would love to explore what could work for you and the clinic.
Why you'll love working with us
- Work alongside experienced veterinarians who are genuinely passionate about mentoring
- Develop your skills across a varied caseload, with exposure to areas including orthopaedic surgery
- Join a supportive, collaborative and fear-free clinic
- Enjoy flexibility, with full-time and part-time opportunities available
- Live and work in one of South Australia's most scenic coastal regions
- Access professional development through our own Veterinary Training Centres
- Receive a generous CPD allowance for external training
- Connect with a broader network of veterinary professionals who share knowledge, experience and best practice
- Access employee discounts and our Employee Assistance Program
- Relocation support may be available, including for veterinarians moving from elsewhere in South Australia
- Visa sponsorship and a relocation allowance are available for eligible candidates
About you
You are a veterinarian who cares deeply about providing thoughtful, high-quality patient care and building trusted relationships with clients.
Ideally, you will have at least two years of veterinary experience and be comfortable contributing within a collaborative team. You do not need to arrive knowing everything - curiosity, initiative and a genuine willingness to continue developing are what matter most.
You will also hold, or be eligible to obtain, veterinary registration in South Australia.
Could the Fleurieu be your next chapter?
Sometimes the right career move is about more than the role itself. It is about finding a team where you feel supported, a community where your work makes a genuine difference and a place where life outside the clinic feels just as fulfilling.
If you have been considering a coastal move, or simply wondering whether there might be a veterinary role that offers something different - we would love to start a conversation.

WESTBOURNE PARK, SOUTH ADELAIDE - SMALL ANIMAL - LEAD VET New Position
Lead Veterinarian | AdelaideVet Goodwood Road
Step into leadership without stepping away from the medicine you love
Imagine walking into a purpose-built clinic where the foundations are already in place: excellent facilities, quality equipment and, most importantly, a close-knit team who genuinely care about one another and their patients.
They are capable, passionate and ready to grow.
The only thing missing is an experienced veterinary leader to help guide the way.
At AdelaideVet Goodwood Road, you will have the opportunity to shape the clinic's next chapter - building on an already positive team culture, supporting the development of those around you and creating a clinical environment you are proud to lead.
Your impact starts from day one
You begin your morning checking in with the team. A veterinarian wants to talk through a case, a nurse has an idea that could improve the patient journey, and there is an opportunity to make a small change that will make everyone's day run a little more smoothly.
You listen, support and bring people together.
Later, you are back in consult or surgery, continuing to practise the medicine you love while helping others grow in confidence around you.
This is leadership that stays connected to the clinic floor. You will be present, approachable and trusted - someone the team can learn from, bounce ideas off and turn to when they need guidance.
You will also have genuine scope to influence how the clinic develops. From clinical standards and team capability to workflow, culture and future services, your leadership will help pave the way forward.
You'll be supported, too
Stepping into a Lead Veterinarian role does not mean having to lead alone.
AdelaideVet has multiple clinics located nearby, giving you access to an established network of passionate and experienced veterinarians. You will be able to collaborate on cases, share ideas and learn from other veterinary leaders across the AdelaideVet community.
Beyond AdelaideVet, you will also be connected to the broader VetPartners network - opening the door to further clinical development, leadership support and relationships with experienced veterinary professionals across Australia and New Zealand.
Whether you want to strengthen your leadership style, further develop a clinical interest or simply have experienced colleagues to call when you need another perspective, you will have a strong professional community around you.
A clinic ready for your leadership
AdelaideVet Goodwood Road is a purpose-built clinic designed to support high-quality veterinary care.
With excellent facilities and equipment already available, you can focus on delivering great clinical outcomes, developing your team and helping the clinic reach its full potential.
You will be joining a warm, close-knit group who enjoy working together and are invested in the clinic's success. They are not looking for someone to come in and change who they are - they are looking for a leader who will recognise their strengths, help them continue growing and give them the confidence and direction to thrive.
What you'll bring
You are an experienced veterinarian who is ready to make a meaningful impact.
You may already be working in a leadership position, or you might be the person others naturally turn to for support, guidance and clinical advice. Either way, you are excited by the opportunity to help shape a clinic and develop the people within it.
You will bring:
- Strong clinical experience and sound decision-making skills
- A supportive, collaborative and approachable leadership style
- A genuine interest in mentoring and developing veterinarians and nurses
- A commitment to high standards of patient care and client service
- The ability to build trust, encourage ideas and bring a team together
- Veterinary registration in South Australia, or eligibility to obtain it
Most importantly, you will see leadership as an opportunity to help others do their best work - not as something you need to carry alone.
What you can look forward to
- Genuine influence over the clinic's future direction, culture and clinical standards
- A talented, close-knit team ready to learn from an experienced leader
- A purpose-built clinic with quality facilities and equipment
- Collaboration with experienced veterinarians across multiple nearby AdelaideVet clinics
- Access to the wider VetPartners network for clinical and leadership development
- Opportunities to build your leadership capability while continuing to grow clinically
- A supportive professional community with people to share ideas, challenges and successes with
- Visa sponsorship and a relocation allowance for eligible candidates
Ready to shape what comes next?
This is more than an opportunity to inherit a title.
It is a chance to step into a clinic with strong foundations, build something meaningful with a team who are ready for your guidance and leave your mark on the way the clinic grows.
If you are an experienced veterinarian looking for a leadership role where your ideas will be heard, your experience will be valued and your impact will be felt, we would love to speak with you.

MITCHELL PARK, SOUTHERN ADELAIDE - SMALL ANIMALS New Position
Experienced Veterinarian – Full Time 9-Day Fortnight
Accredited Hospital | Supportive Team
Marion Animal Hospital | Adelaide
Are you an experienced veterinarian looking for a workplace where you can practise a high standard of medicine without sacrificing your life outside the clinic?
At Marion Animal Hospital, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between a rewarding veterinary career and having time for yourself, your family, friends and the things you enjoy.
We're a hospital with a close-knit team of 12 veterinarians and a highly skilled nursing team. Many of our team members have been with us for 5–10+ years — we think that says a lot about the kind of workplace we've built.
A genuinely good work-life balance
We run a 9-day fortnight (76 hours). A typical fortnight might look like:
- 1-2 × Surgery shifts – 10 hours
- 2 × Morning consultation shifts – 8.5 hours
- 4 × Afternoon shifts – 7.5 hours, starting at 2:30 pm
- 1 × Weekend Day shift – 9 hours
Those afternoon starts give you extra time in the morning for hobbies, exercise, errands, family, a long breakfast, or simply a sleep-in. We're also happy to discuss part-time or individually tailored arrangements.
Your time is valued
You're paid for every minute you work — including case management, phone calls and completing records. We build 1.5–2 hours of admin time into each shift, plus a paid 40-minute meal break.
If an emergency surgery genuinely needs to happen after closing, overtime and professional fees are paid. We believe your time, skills and expertise are valuable — and your pay should reflect that.
A team that has your back
Starting somewhere new can feel daunting, so we don't throw you in the deep end. You'll be paired with an experienced veterinarian for as much (or as little) support as you need — someone to help you settle in, navigate the systems, and bounce ideas off.
You'll also work alongside a highly skilled nursing team and colleagues with experience across surgery, emergency medicine, diagnostic imaging, cardiology, feline medicine, dentistry, orthopaedics and laparoscopic surgery. Whether you want to broaden your skills or deepen your expertise, there's always someone nearby to learn from.
Keep learning without burning out
We want you to keep growing as a veterinarian, and we know CPD should feel achievable rather than overwhelming.
You'll receive:
- A generous CPD allowance
- Regular internal CPD lunches and case discussions
- Opportunities to learn directly from experienced colleagues
- Exposure to a diverse and interesting caseload
We're happy to support you in developing the clinical interests that matter to you.
A hospital where you can practise good medicine
Marion Animal Hospital is an independently owned ASAV-accredited, well-equipped small animal hospital in Adelaide's southern suburbs. We have the equipment, nursing support and clinical experience to manage a varied caseload while still knowing when to ask for help.
We care about our people too
Veterinary medicine can be demanding, so we take wellbeing seriously. Our team has access to on-site mental health first aiders, an Employee Assistance Program, and a supportive management team. Asking questions is encouraged, and we're proud that our team genuinely enjoys spending time together — both at work and outside of it.
What you'll receive
- $90,000–$130,000 base salary + super (depending on experience and skill set)
- Paid for every minute you work, including overtime, admin time and meal breaks
- Overtime and professional fees for after-hours emergency surgery
- 9-day fortnight (part-time and flexible options considered)
- Generous CPD budget
- Veterinary Surgeons Board of SA registration, EPA radiation licence, Sydney CVE and VIN membership covered
- Employee discounts and a free bag of Hill's pet food every 3 months
- A supportive and experienced veterinary and nursing team
What we're looking for
An experienced veterinarian who:
- Holds a DVM or equivalent bachelor or higher qualification and is eligible for registration in South Australia
- Relevant work experience as a small animal veterinarian
- Demonstrated ability to independently assess and manage veterinary cases.
- Enjoys providing compassionate contextualised care
- Values good communication and lasting client relationships
- Enjoys working as part of a team
- Wants to keep developing their skills
- Is looking for a place where they can build a long-term career without sacrificing their quality of life
Come and meet us
Choosing your next role is a big decision. We'd love you to come for a coffee, meet the team, have a look around the hospital, and see if it feels like the right fit.
Email Dr Emma Nelson at
careers@marionanimalhospital.com.au and we'd be happy to arrange a confidential chat or clinic visit.

PORT LINCOLN, EYRE PENINSULA - MIXED
VET WANTED: Experienced Mixed Vet (or Our Elusive Unicorn 🦄)
Port Lincoln, SA | Vets On Eyre
Let’s be honest.
Finding an experienced mixed animal vet these days feels a bit like searching for Bigfoot. Or a unicorn.
But if you’re out there... we’d love to meet you.
We’re looking for an experienced mixed veterinarian to join our team. Part-time or full-time, we’re flexible and happy to make the right role work for the right person.
If you enjoy spending the morning doing dog speys, the afternoon floating horse teeth, and squeezing in the occasional cow, sheep or alpaca before knocking off, keep reading.
What the job actually looks like
Our practice is roughly:
- 80% small animals
- 10% equine
- 10% production animals
With some changes to our team this year, we’re looking for someone who enjoys the mixed side of practice and is comfortable with equine work, including:
- Routine dentals
- Lameness work-ups
- General ambulatory work
- Gastroscopy/scoping
- The occasional colic (because horses are nothing if not dramatic)
You don’t need to be a specialist - we’re looking for someone who enjoys getting out on farm and is confident with day-to-day mixed practice.
Why regional practice is actually pretty exciting
Being based on the Eyre Peninsula means we’re around 7–8 hours from the nearest referral hospital, so many interesting medical and surgical cases stay with us.
One day might be routine consults and surgery. The next could involve a GDV, blocked cat, emergency laparotomy, equine colic work-up or a challenging medical case. If you enjoy working cases up, building your skills and practising medicine rather than referring everything away, you’ll fit right in.
Why people like working here
We’re independently owned, genuinely supportive, and we actually enjoy coming to work.
Please click here to see photos!
Our current team includes:
- 4 veterinarians (1 full-time, 3 part-time)
- A fantastic group of regular locums
- 14 amazing nurses, receptionists and support staff who make our jobs a whole lot easier.
We bounce ideas off each other, help each other out, celebrate the wins and get through the tougher days together. Nobody is expected to know everything.
The good stuff
✅ Live in one of Australia’s best coastal towns. Fishing, surfing, diving, camping and incredible beaches are right on your doorstep.
✅ Part-time or full-time.
✅ Competitive, negotiable salary - because we know experienced mixed vets don’t grow on trees.
✅ No KPIs. No sales targets.
✅ Proper appointment times. Thirty-minute (or longer) small animal consults where needed, and the time to do large animal work properly without feeling rushed.
✅ Interesting cases that often stay in-house because of our regional location.
✅ A supportive nursing team who are genuinely worth their weight in gold.
✅ $2,000 annual CPD allowance, VSBSA registration covered and paid study leave.
✅ A sensible after-hours roster with VetCheck screening calls before they reach you.
Who we’re looking for
Someone who:
- Is experienced enough to comfortably work through a mixed day.
- Enjoys both companion and large animal medicine.
- Is confident with routine equine work.
- Knows when to back themselves and when to ask for another opinion.
- Likes being part of a team where everyone genuinely helps each other out.
- Doesn’t mind the occasional unpredictable rural day where somebody’s horse has other plans.
Sound like you?
If you’re reading this thinking, “This actually sounds pretty good,” we’d love to hear from you.
Contact Dr Maddi Baird & Lisa Wiseman
📧 management@vetsoneyre.com.au
Think you might be our unicorn? We’d love to have a chat.
