North Canberra, Australia Canberra Racetrack and Equestrian Services Full time

Canberra Racetrack and Equestrian Services is currently seeking an equine veterinarian to joint our 4-vet practice based in Canberra. Canberra is a large city with a population of approximately 500,000 located less than 3hours from Sydney and 2 hours from the coast and the snow. The city itself has undergone a transformation in recent years and boasts first class restaurants, schools and educational, cultural and sporting facilities.

The Practice
CRES is a well established practice with a large client base which has recently acquired the infrastructure previously known as Canberra Equine Hospital from corporate ownership. This exciting opportunity allows for exponential potential as we are reopening the surgical facilities, inpatient care and lameness diagnosis using the existing premises. The clinic is located adjacent to Canberra Racetrack (known as Thoroughbred Park) which is the only racecourse in the ACT. We currently service clients at the Canberra and nearby Queanbeyan racetracks as well as several equestrian centres and these can be referred into the clinic for further workups. The practice is fully equipped with surgical operating theatre, digital X-ray, ultrasound, portable and video endoscope, gastroscope, shockwave and thermography.

The veterinarian will be supported by 4 experienced equine vets (memberships and fellowships in radiology, medicine, surgery and equine practice) as well as ancillary staff.

The Position
An equine veterinarian, minimum 2-3 years experience or post internship, with an interest and experience in racing, surgery and lameness would be advantageous. The role will be 5 days per week with limited after hours. Remuneration will be commensurate with experience but above industry norm with 4 weeks annual leave and 1 week study leave. A fully equipped and insured car, mobile phone and equipment will be provided.

The practice is a subsidiary of the Crown Group which has similar practices in Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast. Clients include highly respected racing identities and FEI registered competition horses and venues.

The Practice is an Academic Associate Practice with the University of Melbourne, and in addition has veterinary students seeing practice from international veterinary schools as well as the other Universities in Australia.

Interested veterinarians should email their applications (cover letter, resume and references) to Derek Wong at derekvet@bigpond.com.
