About us
Lort Smith Animal Hospital is a Melbourne icon, serving its people and animals for 85 years. We are Australia's biggest non-profit animal hospital treating over 20,000 animals a year across two locations.

Our Campbellfield Adoption Centre is a vet clinic and shelter, rehoming surrendered animals, and our North Melbourne hospital and clinic provides a broad range of veterinary and emergency services.


Join us as our new chapter is being written, with the North Melbourne Animal Hospital recently opening our fully redeveloped, modern state of the art building with improved spaces for patients and updated facilities to support the wellbeing and operations of our hard-working staff.
