We have a friendly and supportive team of ECC vets consisting of 2 ECC specialists (FANZCVS and DACVECC), 1 ECC Registrar (residency trained veterinary associate), ANZCVS Membership veterinarians, experienced emergency veterinarians and recent graduates. Our ECC nurses are among the best in the industry; they are passionate, hardworking, and dedicated to high levels of patient care.
