New Position
Equine Veterinarian – Golden Plains Equine, Lethbridge VIC
Golden Plains Equine (GPE) is a progressive six-veterinarian equine practice based in Lethbridge, Victoria. We are looking for another equine veterinarian to join our team, replacing a clinician within the practice.
New and recent graduates are very welcome to apply, as are experienced equine veterinarians looking for a long-term position within a supportive and well-equipped practice.
About GPE
GPE provides equine surgery, medicine, reproduction, sports medicine and ambulatory care. Our diverse caseload ranges from Clydesdales to miniature ponies and includes racing and breeding stock, performance and sport horses, pleasure horses and everything in between.
Our hospital is situated on approximately 80 acres and is one of the largest private equine facilities in Victoria. It includes stabling for up to 28 horses, isolation facilities, extensive yards and paddocks, surgical facilities and foaling facilities under lights and 24-hour camera surveillance. We have modern diagnostic imaging and the equipment expected of a first-class equine hospital.
Please click here to see photos! ![]()
Surgery & Hospital Caseload
GPE has a busy surgical and hospital caseload, with procedures performed under general anaesthesia, intravenous anaesthesia and standing sedation.
Cases include arthroscopy, colic and upper airway surgery, cryptorchids, fracture repair, angular limb correction, joint and tendon sheath lavages, kissing spine surgery, implant removal, wound repair, ophthalmic procedures, sequestrum surgery and geldings.
The majority of our surgical caseload is performed by boarded equine surgeon Dr Simon Pearce, and visiting specialists regularly utilise our hospital.
This provides excellent exposure for veterinarians wanting to develop skills in surgery, anaesthesia, imaging, medicine, lameness or emergency care.
Reproduction & Foal Medicine
GPE has a substantial reproductive caseload servicing numerous studs and breeding clients. Our work includes fresh, chilled and frozen AI, embryo collection for ET, hysteroscopy and laparoscopic reproductive procedures.
We foal down approximately 30–50 mares on-site each season, providing considerable exposure to neonatal medicine, sick foals, dystocias and associated medical and surgical emergencies.

Our busy ambulatory service covers Southern Victoria, including Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Central Highlands, Goldfields, Werribee, Melton, Colac and everywhere in between.
Field veterinarians are well supported by experienced colleagues, skilled nursing staff, advanced diagnostic equipment and our hospital. This allows us to provide a high standard of care while ensuring our veterinarians are not left managing challenging cases in isolation.
On-Site Accommodation Opportunity
For applicants interested in living on-site, we can provide a fully furnished three-bedroom, two-bathroom brick home on the clinic property at no cost.
Living on-site provides a unique opportunity, particularly for a new or recent graduate, to become immersed in a busy equine hospital and rapidly develop clinical confidence and practical skills while surrounded by experienced veterinarians and skilled staff.
There are some additional responsibilities associated with residing on-site, which can be discussed with applicants.
Importantly, living on-site is not a requirement. Applicants who live locally or prefer their own accommodation are equally encouraged to apply.
The Position
We are looking for a veterinarian who is passionate about equine practice, enjoys working within a team and ideally wants to become a long-term part of GPE.
We strongly support continuing education and professional development, with opportunities to develop particular interests in sports medicine and lameness, surgery, medicine, reproduction, anaesthesia and imaging.
Our after-hours commitment is relatively light for equine practice, with approximately one weeknight on call per week and one weekend every six weeks, allowing for a good work-life balance.
A work vehicle is provided.
