Careers

Maleny Veterinary Services is a family-owned mixed practice located in the magnificent hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. We are spoilt with lovely clients, gorgeous countryside and a great proximity to both Brisbane and the beaches of the Sunshine Coast.

We are an independent, well-established and highly respected practice with clients comprised of companion animals (80%) plus a variety of large animal work including cattle, alpacas, pigs, sheep and horses.

Our team is a friendly bunch of 22ish staff members including seven vets, ten super-nurses and an awesome support crew. Our practice philosophy is one of providing outstanding, old-fashioned service coupled with the pursuit of excellence in what we do. We look after each other, knowing that without a strong team, we can’t do our job well.

With one of our vets having departed the team for overseas adventures, we are seeking an experienced veterinarian to jump on in. Is it you?! The right person is a friendly, qualified veterinary surgeon who can help service our caseload. With our existing vets ranging in experience from 1 year right through to 30+ years, we are ideally looking for someone with at least two to three years under their belt, who wants a new challenge in a supportive team where professional growth and peer support are highly valued.

The remuneration package and benefits are negotiable, dependent on experience. As a guide, our other full time vets receive a competitive base salary plus super, on-call and laundry allowances, after-hours payments, plus a continuing education allowance. The annual holiday allowance is four weeks, with an additional week of paid study leave per year after your first year of employment with us.

The work environment is open, friendly and supportive and veterinarians are encouraged to collaborate on cases whenever possible. We strive to practise the highest quality medicine and surgery and there is ample scope for our veterinarians to develop their skills and special interests.

Equipment on hand in the practice includes dental machines, ultrasound, in-house IDEXX lab, Vetscan Imagyst, tonometer, etc. The relative proximity to Sunshine Coast also allows referral to specialist centres when required.

We’re a particularly good-humoured, tenacious bunch and there are days that we forget that what we’re doing is supposed to be ‘work’. But don’t just take our word for it – we encourage applicants to speak to the vets currently working here to discuss their experiences!
