Job Description

What we're looking for

  • A veterinarian registered (or eligible for registration) in Victoria.
  • Memberships in Emergency & Critical Care (MANZCVS) are preferred but not essential

What we offer

  • The chance to develop and shape the ECC department in one of Australia's most advanced teaching hospitals.
  • A meaningful balance of clinical practice, leadership, and mentoring
  • Ongoing professional development, including journal clubs, M&M rounds, and access to Greencross' continuing education resources
  • A culture of collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose.
  • Competitive remuneration package tailored to your experience and leadership scope.

Make your mark

This is your opportunity to build something lasting: a department renowned for clinical excellence, a vibrant team culture, and a legacy of educating the next generation of veterinarians.
