TOOWOOMBA/DARLING DOWNS QLD - SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE WANTED
VETERINARY PRACTICE WANTED - TOOWOOMBA & DARLING DOWNS, QLD
Experienced small-animal vet seeking to buy, buy into, or lease a practice
An established, QLD-registered small-animal veterinarian is looking to purchase a veterinary practice in Toowoomba and the surrounding Darling Downs. After years in clinical practice in the region, I'm ready to step into ownership and run a practice the way I believe care should be delivered - personal, hands-on, and built for the long term.
What I'm looking for
- A small-animal (or predominantly small-animal mixed) practice in Toowoomba, the Darling Downs, Lockyer Valley or nearby
- Anywhere from a solo owner planning retirement through to a small 2–4 vet team
- Open to a full walk-in–walk-out purchase, a staged buy-in / partnership, or a lease / lease-to-buy arrangement
- Freehold or leasehold both considered
Why talk to me
- A genuine owner-operator and working vet - not a corporate consolidator
- Funding is in place (home equity plus bank finance) and I'm ready to move quickly
- Committed to looking after your team and your clients, and to an unhurried, respectful handover that protects the legacy you've built
- Happy to discuss a transition period, locum cover, or you staying on part-time if that suits you
If you're a practice owner thinking about retirement, succession, or simply your next step - even if you're not formally on the market yet - I'd genuinely welcome a confidential, no-obligation conversation.

All enquiries treated in strict confidence.

Lease duration, rental costs and further property details are available on application.
Interested?
Opportunities to walk into a fully fitted veterinary clinic don't come along very often.

Whether you're looking to open your first clinic, grow an existing practice or relocate to a fantastic regional community, this facility provides a strong foundation and the flexibility to make it your own.
If you'd like to learn more about the facility, lease terms or the opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.

An excellent opportunity is available to lease a fully fitted veterinary clinic in one of Melbourne's fastest growing regions.
Located within the busy Tarneit Park Hub on Leakes Road, this purpose-built veterinary clinic sits alongside Petstock and benefits from direct client access from the store. Every day, local pet owners visit the precinct for pet food, supplies and services, creating strong visibility and convenience for a veterinary business.
Operating as a companion animal clinic for the past 2.5 years, the facility is already recognised by local pet owners and offers an opportunity for a veterinarian or veterinary business to establish, expand or relocate without the time, cost and disruption of fitting out a new clinic.

SHEPPARTON EAST, GOULBURN VALLEY VIC - FOR LEASE
Large Purpose-Built Veterinary Facility Available for Lease | Shepparton East, VIC
An excellent opportunity is available to lease a large, purpose-built veterinary facility in Shepparton East, one of regional Victoria's major growth and agricultural centres.
Located at 190 Benalla Road, this substantial veterinary facility offers significantly more space and flexibility than most clinics, making it well suited to companion animal, mixed animal and ambulatory services.
With extensive consulting, treatment and hospital facilities, plus dedicated storage and shed space, the property offers opportunities that are difficult to find in a traditional veterinary clinic. Whether your focus is companion animal medicine, mixed practice, ambulatory work or a combination of these, the facility provides the space to build the practice you want.
Available now, the facility provides an opportunity to establish, expand or relocate a veterinary business without the cost, time and disruption of developing a new clinic from the ground up.
Whether you're looking to own your first clinic, grow an existing practice, establish a mixed animal service or create a larger veterinary hub, this facility provides the scale and flexibility to make it
possible.
At a Glance
- Approximately 443m² of clinic and office space
- Approximately 175m² of storage and utility space
- Separate shed area ideal for mixed animal or ambulatory operations
- Four consult rooms
- Dedicated surgical suite
- Dedicated dental room
- Separate radiology room
- Large treatment area
- Separate dog and cat wards
- Flexible layout suitable for companion animal, mixed animal or ambulatory services

The Facility
With approximately 443m² of clinic and office space, plus a further 175m² of storage and utility space, this is a substantial veterinary facility with room to support a wide range of services.
The clinic features:
- Dedicated reception and waiting area
- Four consult rooms
- Large treatment area
- Dedicated surgical suite
- Separate radiology room
- Dedicated dental room
- Separate dog and cat wards
- Staff amenities and office space
- Separate shed and utility area with potential for mixed animal operations

Equipment is not included, allowing you to fit out the clinic with the equipment and services that best suit your own practice style and clinical interests.
Why Consider This Clinic?
Anyone who has built or fitted out a veterinary clinic knows how expensive and time consuming it can be. Here, much of the hard work has already been done. The consult rooms, treatment area, surgery, dental room, hospital wards and supporting infrastructure are already in place, allowing you to focus on patients and growing your business rather than managing a major construction project.
What makes this property particularly attractive is its flexibility.
While equally suited to a companion animal practice, the additional storage areas, utility space and separate shed create opportunities for mixed animal and ambulatory services that are rarely available in a purpose-built veterinary facility. Whether you're servicing lifestyle properties, small farms, production animal clients or companion animals, the clinic can be configured to support a broad range of veterinary services.
For veterinarians looking to create a true mixed practice, expand an existing mixed animal business or establish a regional hub with room to grow, opportunities like this are uncommon.
Included in the Lease
- Veterinary cabinetry and built in joinery throughout the clinic
- Reception and waiting area fit out
- Consult room fit outs
- Treatment area infrastructure
- Surgical suite infrastructure
- Hospital ward infrastructure
- Staff amenities and office space
- Client and staff parking
Why Shepparton East?
Shepparton and the surrounding region are home to a diverse mix of families, pet owners, lifestyle property owners and agricultural businesses.
As one of northern Victoria's major regional centres, the area supports strong demand for both companion animal and production animal veterinary services. The combination of a large local population, surrounding farming communities and a strong agricultural economy creates opportunities that are difficult to replicate in metropolitan locations.
The size and layout of this facility make it particularly well suited to veterinarians looking to combine companion animal medicine with mixed animal or ambulatory work.
Whether you're establishing a mixed practice, expanding an existing veterinary business or looking for a facility with room to grow, Shepparton East offers flexibility that is rarely available in a ready to occupy veterinary clinic.
Lease Opportunity
The premises are available via lease assignment, providing the opportunity to secure a fully fitted veterinary facility without the cost and disruption of a new build.

BANGALOW, NORTHERN RIVERS, NSW - SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE, PARTNERSHIP

Veterinarian - Integrated Small Animal Practice
Vitality Vetcare - Bangalow, NSW
Full-time or Part-time veterinarian | Integrated small animal practice
Vet Wanted: Small Animals, Big Heart, Zero On-Call Shenanigans
Vitality Vetcare - Bangalow, NSW
Full-time or Part-time veterinarian | Integrated small animal practice | Tea, biscuits and actual work-life balance included.
Vitality Vetcare is looking for a veterinarian to join our warm, values-led integrated small animal practice in beautiful Bangalow — the iconic hinterland village near Byron Bay where the patients are adorable, the clients are thoughtful, and the masala chai at the local is dangerously good.
We offer general medicine and surgery alongside nutrition, acupuncture, western herbal medicine, homeopathy, Chinese medicine, and laser therapy. Our priority is meaningful time, personalised care and doing good veterinary medicine — not seeing how many patients we can squeeze into a day before someone starts stress-eating the organic liver treats.
This role suits a vet who enjoys thoughtful client communication, quality clinical care and a holistic approach to helping pets and their people thrive — preferably with a good sense of humour and a soft spot for yeasty dogs – the price for living in paradise. Let that also be a warning, your hair may develop its own strategic plan in the Bangalow humidity!
Please click here to see photos! ![]()
About the role
You’ll work with an experienced, supportive team to deliver individualised care plans, manage medical, surgical and dental cases, and keep developing your interests in integrative veterinary medicine — without being expected to clone yourself, skip lunch or answer the phone at midnight.
What you’ll bring
- A veterinary degree eligible for registration with the Veterinary Practitioners Board of NSW — the official bit.
- Confidence with general medicine, surgery and dentistry.
- Clear, compassionate communication and a collaborative approach with clients, pets and fellow humans.
- A genuine interest in integrative and holistic veterinary care — curiosity encouraged!
- Right to live and work in Australia.
Bonus points if you can do any of this fancy stuff
- You have qualifications or experience in one or more integrative modalities.
- You bring skills in ultrasound, dental radiography, exotic animal or wildlife medicine.
What’s in it for you
- Competitive salary package, including superannuation and CPD, matched to your experience.
- A flexible Monday to Friday roster with no on-call or weekend work. A social life? Yep, you can have one!
- Room to grow your skills and interests in integrated veterinary medicine. Speaking of rooms, all ours have windows - that open - to the outside!
- A fully equipped clinic with all the toys, ultrasound, dental x-ray, Idexx suite, 4-way float tabletop so you don’t break your back trying to position that 40kg rottie for rads.
- A supportive team culture where diversity, inclusivity and gender equity are genuinely valued.
- Potential for future practice partnership for the right person — if you like the idea of putting down roots somewhere lovely.

EDGECUMBE, BAY OF PLENTY - LARGE ANIMAL/DAIRY VET WITH PARTNERSHIP POTENTIAL

Experienced Large Animal Veterinarian
Bay Veterinary Group | Whakatāne, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand
A Rare Opportunity
Opportunities to join our large animal team don't come along often.
We're looking for an experienced large animal veterinarian to join us as two of our highly respected senior vets prepare for well-earned retirement over the next few years. Between them they've dedicated an incredible 75 years to Bay Vets - one for more than 30 years, the other for over 45 years.
That says a lot about who we are. Bay Vets is a place where people stay. We enjoy exceptional staff retention across our veterinary, nursing and support teams, creating a collaborative practice built on trust, experience and genuine friendships.
You'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues while building your own client base and becoming part of a close-knit rural community.
Why Bay Vets?
- We're a modern, independently owned mixed practice operating across three clinics in New Zealand's beautiful Eastern Bay of Plenty.
- Our large animal work is predominantly dairy focused, working alongside progressive farming businesses on herd health, reproduction, production medicine, lameness and preventative healthcare. The role also includes some sheep and beef work, equine and lifestyle block clients, giving you plenty of variety.
You'll enjoy:
- A rewarding dairy-focused caseload with progressive farming clients
- Strong client relationships where you can make a genuine difference
- Modern equipment and excellent veterinary support
- A friendly, collaborative team that enjoys working together
- Clinical autonomy with opportunities to develop your own interests
- Competitive remuneration and relocation assistance
- Generous CPD and career development support
- A sensible after-hours roster that supports genuine work-life balance
For the right person, there is also the opportunity to buy into the practice in the future, making this more than just your next job - it's the chance to build a long-term career and become part of the future of Bay Vets.
Why Whakatāne?
Life here is pretty special. Whakatāne enjoys one of New Zealand's warmest climates and sits on the stunning Bay of Plenty coastline, where it's easy to swap work boots for jandals at the end of the day.
In your spare time you can enjoy:
- Spectacular beaches
- World-class fishing, diving and boating
- Native bush, waterfalls and walking trails
- Outstanding mountain biking
- A welcoming community with excellent schools
- Affordable housing compared with many major cities
When you're ready to explore further, Rotorua, Tauranga, Taupō, the Coromandel and the East Cape are all within easy reach. Whether you're raising a family or simply looking for more time outdoors, Whakatāne offers the kind of work-life balance that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Many of our overseas veterinarians came for the experience - and stayed for the lifestyle.
About You
You'll ideally have:
- Several years' experience in large animal practice, with a strong interest in dairy production medicine
- Experience with dairy cattle; sheep, beef or equine experience is a bonus
- Confidence working independently while enjoying being part of a supportive team
- Great communication skills and a practical, solutions-focused approach
- A commitment to building strong client relationships
- Eligibility for, or the ability to obtain, veterinary registration in New Zealand
Previous New Zealand experience isn't essential - we're happy to support the right candidate through the registration and relocation process.
Ready for Your Next Adventure?
If you're looking for a rewarding veterinary career, genuine work-life balance and the opportunity to live somewhere people dream about visiting, we'd love to hear from you.

ORANGE, CENTRAL TABLELANDS, NSW - SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE FOR SALE
BOUTIQUE, HIGHLY PROFITABLE SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE FOR SALE, ORANGE, NSW
Highly profitable, boutique small animal practice for sale in the beautiful town of Orange, only 3.5hrs drive from both Sydney and Canberra.
The practice is located in a beautiful, well maintained, heritage building with a lovely garden and carpark at the back for 7 vehicles shaded by an enormous old elm tree. It is located on the main road through Orange with great signage meaning we've never needed to advertise. Between the great location and word of mouth, we have a large, loyal and growing client base. The practice has had a completely new fit out 2 years ago and is located diagonally opposite Cook Park surrounded by other historic houses with beautiful established gardens in tree lined streets.
Clients walk in through the front garden to a covered verandah area and from there into the waiting room. Two very large consult rooms come off either side of the waiting room which leads down to the treatment room at the back of the building. Off the treatment area is the laboratory and surgical prep room, surgical theatre, pharmacy, kennel rooms, separate laundry and isolation rooms, radiology area and staff room/office. The back door then leads out into the rear carpark and allows for disabled access.
We have a very friendly, enthusiastic and very competent team of 2 FT and 1 casual vet, 2 regularly returning locum vets, 5 nurses/receptionists and 2 trainee students. We have all the usual toys including built-in Shorline cages, digital Xray, 3 stinger anaesthetic machines with piped O2, new Shorline Operating Table VT hydraulic lift in the surgery as well as a deep wash dental / wet table with split grill and a second surgical / Xray table in the treatment area. We have a brand new Vitavue patient monitor, new Vetscan Imagyst, Idexx Vet Station Catalyst One, Procyte and Sedivue as well as all the usual Pulse Oximeters, Nikki fluid pumps, IM3 dental machine, plating and orthopaedic kits etc etc etc.
Please click here to see photos!We use EzyVet practice software system with Rocketpacs and they link directly to our in house Idexx Lab, our Imagyst scanner and the digital Xray so that all in house bloods, cytology and X rays automatically attach directly to the patient file and are automatically invoiced to the client. Our new Vitavue patient monitor also downloads and attaches to the Ezy Vet patient file so a continuous recording of all patient anaesthetics inc vitals and ECG / blood pressure etc can be saved electronically.
With a loyal customer base and growing population, the new owner will easily be able to maintain the current business and clientele or grow the clinic further if desired as there are multiple areas where revenue could easily and quickly be further increased eg through advertising, encouraging breeders and PPS / training, branching into sales of general petcare products, offering grooming services or expanding into large animal work (we regularly get asked if we would do this – particularly with respect to horse work). As we have largely run the business as a “lifestyle” practice, we have chosen to limit AHs to our own clients only and we have made the decision not to pursue large animal work but these are definitely areas where there is demand if you're keen.
So, why move to Orange?
Orange gives you the best of both worlds : the country town vibe and great lifestyle (think green rolling hills, farmers markets, renowned cool climate wineries and pick your own orchards and berry farms in quaint historic villages) with all the perks of big city living (the new Orange Base Hospital which is the largest non-metropolitan health and trauma centre in the Southern Hemisphere, a new $25 million sports precinct, 16 schools inc private (Kinross Wolaroi and Orange Anglican School), Catholic (James Sheehan and St Mary's) and good public schools, hatted restaurants, Charles Sturt University campus, 3 excellent 18 hole golf courses and a thriving real estate market. This is why Orange is a renowned food, wine and tourist destination (in the Wotif 2023 awards for top 3 best towns to visit in NSW) and has an annual influx of approx. 400 tree changers per year who are largely professional people moving to the area chasing the lifestyle and the employment opportunities all within an easy commute to Sydney and Canberra.

The current owner is happy to provide appropriate transition and / or work F/T or P/T and can also be available for locums if required.
For further information or to organise a walk-through of the practice, please contact Sally on 0458 645 300 or email u4616809@anu.edu.au

The wider team is supportive, approachable, and always there when you need a second opinion or a sounding board.
This place has a real 'family feel' about it, where everyone pulls together when there's work, and relaxes when it's time. Decisions can be made quickly, and ideas are encouraged.
You'll see a good mix of small animal cases, from routine consults through to more involved workups, with the opportunity to follow cases through properly. There's no conveyor belt feel here, just the time and space to do things well.
Please click here to see photos!About the role:
- Full-time or part-time, your choice
- Small animal only
- Sole charge with full clinical freedom
- Flexible hours to suit your routine
- No after-hours or weekend work
- Continuity with your cases and clients
What matters here:
- You're confident working independently
- You care about doing a good job
- You're great with clients and build trust easily
- You bring a positive, team-oriented attitude
What you'll get:
- Flexibility that actually works
- A supportive, down-to-earth environment
- A well-equipped, independent clinic
- Potential for part ownership for the right person
The Lifestyle bit. Brisbane
Think, sunshine, riverside living, and a laid-back pace. With outdoor cafés, weekend markets, and easy access to beaches and hinterland. It's a city where work fits around life, not the other way round.
Finish work, get some fresh air, and actually switch off.
So, what's next?
If this sounds like your kind of role, then it's worth a conversation. Send your CV, don't worry if it's not up to date. We can't get the whole story in a job ad, so ask any questions. We're far more interested in the person behind it.
Bring your talent; we'll bring the support, the fun, and the great location.

CANADA - FOR SALE - VET PRACTICE IN THE KOOTENAY ROCKIES
Is practicing veterinary medicine just a part of your life?
Tired of the urban rat-race?
Want an outdoor lifestyle?
Ever considered emigrating to Canada?
The location:
The practice is located on an acreage on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, nine km north of the village of Kaslo, nestled in the mountain ranges of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The geography is dominated by the large, pristine lake and 2000-3000m heavily forested mountains. The area is relatively sparsely populated, and is becoming a haven for urban refugees.
The village of Kaslo has a health centre with 4 physicians, a K-12 school, an ice arena, tennis courts and baseball diamond. A vibrant arts community thrives, with a renowned summer jazz festival on a floating stage.
The real estate:
The practice is located in the bottom floor of a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom 3600 sq ft home built in 1994. A covered breezeway containing a hot tub and storage adjoins the house to an 800 sq ft shop with a kennel building underneath. A 1000 sq ft barn with hayloft is situated in the adjacent fenced pasture land. The buildings are located on a 3-4 hectare parcel of land overlooking a secluded beach on Kootenay Lake.
Please click here to see photos! ![]()
The practice:
Established for 26 years, the practice serves the north end of Kootenay Lake, with the next closest practice 75 km to the south. The practice is 95% small animal with some potential for expanded equine work in the area. The clinic has separate bathroom, reception, exam, kennel, treatment, and surgery rooms. Gas anaesthesia, monitors, new CBC and chemistry analyzers,and an older X-ray unit are in use. Grooming and boarding facilities are present. The clientele is loyal and appreciative. Cases requiring referral can be sent to Washington State University vet teaching hospital across the border. Two part-time assistants and a family member are currently employed. Annual gross revenue is in the $600,000 range with a high net due to low overhead costs.
The opportunity:
The home-based practice provides flexibility in time management, allowing a great work/life balance. It would enable the prospective new owner to continue working while raising a family and allow the veterinary practice to be a family affair. The area offers unparalleled and unrestricted access to outdoor recreation, with hiking, mountain biking, ATV'ing, swimming and boating in the summer and skiing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter. The current owner is planning to retire in the area and is willing to assist in the transition. The priority is to ensure that the community has continued access to veterinary services, so sale of the practice with inventory and equipment without the real estate would also be considered.
