East Port Veterinary Hospital is looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated and well-rounded full-time veterinarian to join our small animal practice in Port Macquarie on the beautiful NSW mid-north coast. Both new graduates and experienced veterinarians are welcome to apply. A part-time position may also be considered for the right applicant.

Port Macquarie is a beautiful, laid back, coastal area bursting with restaurants, multiple beaches lined with pockets of rainforests, and fun attractions. The amazing Coastal Walk from town to the Tacking Point Lighthouse, Billabong Zoo, Koala Hospital, Stoney Aqua Park, Ricardoes Tomatoes and many local wineries will keep you and your visitors entertained. The lush hinterland surrounds are perfect for camping, bushwalking or visiting one of the many nearby waterfalls. For families, there are plenty of great schools catering for all ages, and lots of family orientated activities to enjoy in your down time.

Who we are:

- We are a busy, four vet companion animal practice, with some opportunity for exotic pet and wildlife medicine cases.

- We have a large client base with many of our clientele being happy to work up a range of surgical, medical and wellness cases, to a gold standard of care. A significant number of this clientele have chosen East Port Veterinary Hospital as their veterinarian of choice for over ten years.
