Up to $160K + Super | Accommodation Available | Community-Focused Clinic

Are you a confident GP vet who enjoys building real relationships with clients, not just moving through consults?

Looking for a role where you can genuinely own your cases, be part of a close-knit team, and still have the beach and hinterland on your doorstep?

We’re representing a long-standing, independent small animal clinic in the Sunshine Coast hinterland that’s looking for an experienced veterinarian to join their team.

About the Clinic

This is a well-established, community-focused practice that has been part of the local area for over 16 years. Recently taken over by one of the original founders, the clinic continues to maintain a strong reputation with a loyal and engaged client base.

It’s a genuinely supportive environment where:

• Clients know you by name and trust your recommendations
• The team works collaboratively and backs each other
• There’s a strong focus on continuity of care

Over the past 12 months, the clinic has navigated long service leave within the team, and they are now looking to bring in a full-time vet to provide consistency and coverage across the week.

The Role

• Full-time position (ideally 4 full days + Saturday mornings)
• Sole charge 2–3 days per week
• Saturday rota: 8am–12pm (sole charge)
• Typically a 2-vet-per-day clinic
• Mix of consulting, surgery, and medical workups
• Small animal caseload with occasional wildlife triage (referred on)

This role would suit someone who enjoys autonomy but still values being part of a team.

What They’re Looking For

• Minimum 2+ years’ experience (not suitable for new grads)
• Confident across:
  • General GP consults
  • Routine surgery
  • Dentals (dental radiography ideal)
• Comfortable with sole charge responsibilities
• A people-focused vet who enjoys building long-term client relationships
• Someone who values being part of a tight-knit community clinic

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to $160K + Super (depending on experience)
• Accommodation available above the clinic (short or long-term options)
  • Self-contained flat with kitchen
  • Currently shared with one resident cat 🐾
• Supportive transition period with outgoing vet
• Potential visa sponsorship for the right candidate
• A genuinely collaborative, down-to-earth team culture

Location

Set in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, this role offers the kind of lifestyle people move to Queensland for:

Think early morning surf, hinterland hikes, great local cafés, and a proper sense of community. It’s a slower pace, but clinically still engaging and rewarding.

Interested?

If you’re looking for a role where you can settle in, feel valued, and build strong client relationships while still enjoying everything the Sunshine Coast has to offer, this is well worth a conversation.
