Mornington, Australia VetPartners Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

VetPartners Australia Pty Ltd is looking for a Full Time Emergency & Critical Care Veterinarian to join our team at Peninsular Vet Emergency and Referral Hospital.

Why Peninsula Vet Emergency and Referral Hospital?

We're not just a hospital—we're a team that supports and empowers each other. Located just over an hour from Melbourne (against traffic), our purpose-built facility in Mornington is home to a passionate and collaborative emergency and referral team. Here, you'll be working alongside:

  • An ECC Specialist
  • A residency-trained ECC Registrar
  • Senior emergency vets with memberships
  • Experienced ECC nurses
  • Plus, you'll have access to specialists in surgery, internal medicine, anaesthesia, oncology, and cardiology.

What makes us different?

  • Mentorship matters: We understand the transition from GP to ECC can feel daunting. That's why we've created a welcoming, structured onboarding process tailored for vets with 1–2 years of experience. You'll never feel like you're in the deep end without support.
  • Facilities that support your growth: Think ICU suites, CT, fluoroscopy, critical care ventilators, endoscopy, digital radiography, ultrasonography, and in-house lab equipment—everything you need to level up.
  • A culture of learning: With daily case rounds, in-house education (that you get paid to attend), and generous CPD leave and allowances, we prioritise your development.

About the role

In this role, you'll:

  • Manage a broad range of ECC cases from walk-ins and referrals
  • Be supported in developing your ECC skills—including emergency surgeries and procedures
  • Collaborate closely with other departments to provide integrated patient care

What we're looking for

  • Hold a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc)
  • Minimum of 2 years work experience and be eligible for registration in Victoria
  • Someone passionate about emergency medicine and ready to learn from the best
  • Whatever your identity and background, if this roles sounds like you then please apply

What we offer you

  • Competitive salary + super based on experience
  • Additional shift allowances (especially for overnights)
  • Rotating roster for real work-life balance
  • 1 week paid study leave + generous CPD budget
  • Support with relocation and visa sponsorship (if eligible)
  • Paid parental leave, staff discounts, wellness and mental health support
  • Long-term, supportive team with fantastic staff retention
