Senior Small Animal Vet

Boyne Tannum & Harbour City Veterinary Surgery

Full-time | Relocation Available | Tannum Sands Queensland, 

Two established clinics, 20 minutes apart on the Central Queensland coast, are growing. We’re investing in the area with a brand new purpose-built hospital, and we’re looking for a senior vet to join us. You’ll be a trusted clinical presence for our graduates as they find their feet and get in early on what’s next.

Ready for a change of scenery? A coastal lifestyle, a tight-knit community and a more affordable cost of living, with the support to make the move easy.

A team with big opportunities.

You’ll work with multiple consult rooms, ultrasound, digital X-ray, surgery suites and in-house IDEXX labs, with a caseload that spans consults, workups, medicine and surgery.

A clinical role with mentoring built in.

This is first and foremost a clinical role: your own consults, surgery and caseload, every week. Alongside that, our graduates need someone in their corner. You’ll work alongside them every day, guiding consults, surgery and case management and helping them build confidence and decision-making. 

Live where others holiday.

Finish your day, walk the dog on the beach, and be home before sunset. Beaches, national parks, hiking, camping, fishing and 4WD tracks are on your doorstep, with warm weather, a tight-knit community and an affordable cost of living. Brisbane is close  enough for a city weekend whenever you want one.

The role

• Full-time, 38 hours a week, with a weekly RDO.
• Clinical role: your own consult and surgery caseload, 100% small animal.
• Hands-on mentoring of our graduate vets alongside your own clinical work.
• Working across both clinics.
• Shared weekend and after-hours roster backed by Vetriage, so the phone only rings when it truly matters.

Who we’re looking for

A senior vet with 6+ years in small animal practice and confidence across general practice medicine and surgery. You enjoy developing others, give clear and practical feedback, and value good medicine, good teamwork and continual improvement.

Proudly part of Apiam Animal Health.

You’ll have the backing of a growing veterinary network, with real career pathways, professional development and clinical support when you need it.

What’s on offer

• $130,000–$155,000 plus super, based on experience and skillset, plus $10,000–$15,000 a year in after-hours earning potential.
• Up to $10,000 relocation assistance
• Eligibility for Rural HECS Debt Reduction of up to $62,000.
• Generous CE support, including Vet Education and online resources.
• Paid VSB registration plus $1,000 a year towards memberships.
• Retail, travel and service discounts.
• Shared accommodation when you land and help finding somewhere long-term.
• Visa sponsorship and immigration support for candidates eligible for registration in Queensland.
  

Thinking about relocating?

We’ll help make the move easy with up to $10,000 relocation payment, stay in shared accommodation when you land and get help finding somewhere long term. If you’re coming from overseas, we offer visa sponsorship and immigration support for candidates eligible for registration in Queensland.

Come and have a look.

Not sure yet? Take a tour. We’ll show you the clinics, introduce you to the team and talk about what’s next in Gladstone.
