Veterinary Associate - Greencross Port Macquarie

Company Description

If you’re looking for a role that blends clinical challenge with an unbeatable coastal lifestyle, Greencross Port Macquarie is the perfect next step. Our clinic sits in one of Australia’s most desirable regional towns: beaches, wildlife, hiking trails, a relaxed community feel, plus a team culture that makes you want to come to work.

We're a busy, well-established hospital with a diverse and rewarding caseload, seeing the full spectrum of veterinary medicine. As part of the local after-hours syndicate, and with no emergency centre nearby, we manage everything from tick paralysis and trauma to medical emergencies, wildlife and complex general practice cases. It’s a fantastic environment for a vet who enjoys variety, wants to continue building strong clinical skills, and values exposure to cases that are often referred elsewhere in metropolitan areas.

What Makes Our Team Special

Our veterinary team is high performing, experienced and well respected in the region and across the Greencross network.

As well as having a highly skilled team within our clinic, 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.

Work-Life Balance

We take balance seriously. Rostering is flexible, and leave is approved whenever possible, even at short notice, if it works with clinical needs.

Our participation in the local after-hours roster is manageable and shared across practices, offering valuable exposure to emergency work without the demands of a dedicated emergency roster. For vets who enjoy this aspect of practice, it can also be a great opportunity to boost earnings.

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

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Unlimited internal CE and dedicated leadership programs
• One week paid study leave (option to convert to annual leave)
• Paid AVA or Veterinary Board registration
• Access to VIN, Plumbs and full Greencross clinical resources
• Mental health and wellbeing support, including 24/7 counselling
• Generous staff discounts across Greencross clinics, Petbarn and partner retailers

Qualifications

• BVSc or DVM (or equivalent) and eligibility for registration in NSW
• Strong communication, teamwork and clinical capability

Additional Information

We are also open to speaking with UK veterinarians on Working Holiday Visas who are looking for a 6-month Australian coastal adventure, offering the chance to gain exposure to a varied caseload while enjoying one of Australia's most sought-after regional locations.

If you’re looking for a role where you can truly make an impact while living in a stunning coastal location, Port Macquarie offers the perfect combination of challenge, support, lifestyle and growth.
