Experienced Veterinarian & Casual End-of-Life Care Veterinarian

Ocean Grove & Bellarine Peninsula, VIC | No After-Hours | Lifestyle + Purpose

Looking for a veterinary role that offers genuine work-life balance, strong clinical support, and meaningful impact?

Opportunities are available for both an experienced GP veterinarian and a casual End-of-Life (EOL) care veterinarian across the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula.

This is a chance to be part of a team focused on compassionate, relationship-led care, with a strong emphasis on the human-animal bond.


About the Opportunity

This well-established, community-focused veterinary group has built a reputation for delivering thoughtful, unhurried care that prioritises both patients and people.

The team is values-driven, with a strong focus on:

  • Kindness and collaboration

  • Inclusion and wellbeing

  • Ongoing learning and development

You’ll be joining a supportive environment where your contribution is valued and your career can be shaped around your goals.


What’s on Offer

  • No after-hours, no on-call requirements

  • Flexible working arrangements to suit your lifestyle

  • Longer consultation times with a focus on quality care

  • High nurse-to-vet ratio for strong clinical support

  • Generous CPD allowance + paid study leave

  • Wellbeing-focused workplace with structured support systems

  • Competitive hourly rate based on experience

  • Opportunity to work in both clinic and community-based settings


Opportunity 1: Experienced Veterinarian (3+ Years)

  • 4 days per week in a boutique clinic environment

  • Deliver high-quality, relationship-focused veterinary care

  • Be part of a close-knit team with influence on clinic culture and clinical standards

  • Enjoy working in Ocean Grove, surrounded by coastal lifestyle and community charm


Opportunity 2: Casual End-of-Life Care Veterinarian

  • Provide compassionate in-home euthanasia and palliative care

  • Flexible, casual shifts (Monday–Sunday – you choose your availability)

  • Full administrative and operational support provided

  • Structured debriefing and wellbeing support available

This role is ideal for vets seeking flexibility, purpose-driven work, or a complementary position alongside other commitments.


Why the Bellarine Peninsula?

  • Coastal lifestyle with beaches, wineries, and relaxed living

  • Close to Geelong and easy access to Melbourne

  • Strong community feel and growing local amenities

  • A great balance of professional opportunity and lifestyle


About You

  • BVSc (or equivalent), eligible to practice in Australia

  • Strong communication and empathy, particularly for EOL care roles

  • A collaborative, team-focused approach

  • Passion for delivering high-quality, patient-centred care
