We’re a busy, well‑staffed hospital that sees the full spectrum of veterinary medicine. As part of the local afterhours syndicate, and with no emergency centre nearby, we manage everything from tick paralysis to trauma, medical emergencies, wildlife, and general practice cases.

Calli – our Regional Nurse of the Year, known for skill, teamwork and exceptional patient care. Dr Sarah – holds a membership in Behaviour and has a strong special interest in wildlife. PM Superstar Sarah - ties all of the operational and admin tasks together, giving you more time for the vet work We can also access two local vets with surgical memberships for ongoing referral support for advanced surgical procedures and mentoring when required. We are a well‑staffed, cohesive team with strong nursing capability, excellent communication, and a culture that combines efficiency with genuine care. Morning teas are legendary, teamwork is effortless, and clinical standards are high.

You’ll enjoy a lifestyle built around beaches, trails, coastal restaurants, and a naturally relaxed way of living.
