Reproduction Veterinarian

Big things are happening. Be part of it.

At AREC, we're growing, and we're looking for a Reproduction Veterinarian who's ready to grow with us.

Whether you're membership-qualified, board-certified, or residency-trained, this is an opportunity to shape the future of reproduction services in a hospital that values clinical excellence, ethical medicine, and genuine work-life balance.

Why AREC?

We're a purpose-built, 24/7 emergency and referral hospital with over 110 team members and a big vision. Since 2004, we've been providing best-practice care to animals across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley, and beyond. Now, we're expanding into a brand-new, custom-designed hospital dedicated to best-practice veterinary care, where every patient benefits from the expertise of our growing referral team.

With specialists in surgery, medicine, rehabilitation, and more working side by side, we're creating a truly collaborative environment focused on high-quality care.

Our model supports collaboration across specialties, and we're committed to sustainable rosters and healthy caseloads. You'll have the time, space, and support to do your best work and to keep learning.

Our new hospital includes:

• Eight consult rooms, two surgical theatres, and a dedicated ICU
• Quiet lactation/parents' room, a space to support feeding, expressing, and caring for your child during the workday
• Comfortable spaces for staff to rest and reset (including a large staff room with massage chair)
• On-site pharmacy
• Full in-house lab
• Separate wards for exotics, cats, and infectious patients
• Specialist diagnostic imaging suite with CT, otoscopy, and ultrasound

What's in it for you?

We understand the rewards and challenges of specialist and referral work. That's why we offer:

• Visa sponsorship and relocation support, including rent-free accommodation to help you settle in
• Flexible employment arrangements designed to fit your life
• Competitive salary, profit sharing, and employee stock ownership
• Generous CPD support, including paid conference leave and funding for professional memberships
• Five weeks of annual leave
• Experienced nursing and support teams
• A collaborative, values-led culture
• Access to an Employee Assistance Program, wellbeing initiatives, and supportive leadership
• We're proudly independent, making decisions locally with care and understanding.

Who are we looking for?

You're a qualified veterinarian with:

• A degree recognized for registration in NSW (e.g., BVSc, DVM, or equivalent)
• Interest in leading a new service, joining an established one, or combining clinical and teaching roles—role to be shaped around the right candidate
• A genuine interest in building something meaningful
• A commitment to professional integrity, patient-centered care, and team collaboration
• Membership-qualified in reproduction, board-certified, or completed an approved residency in veterinary reproduction
