Associate Veterinarian

Associate Veterinarian – Join a Practice That Puts People and Pets First $90-$130k per annum DOE

Location : Bendigo, VICTORIA - New Grads Welcome

Looking for a change? Want a role where you’re supported, not stretched? We are working with an independently owned practice in the heart of Bendigo offering something a little different : less red tape, more support, and genuine work-life balance.

Whether you’re a recent grad or an experienced vet, they will work around you. They are flexible on hours, generous with salary and serious about making this a place you’ll want to stay.

About the Role

You’ll be part of a small, tight-knit team doing a mix of consults, medical workups, basic surgery, and even some repro work if that’s your thing. If you have a special interest, they are happy to invest in equipment or training to support it.

Their director still works on the floor, so you’re never far from a second opinion or a helping hand. There may be some sole charge at times (depending on your experience), but support is always close by.

On-call? Minimal. There’s a nearby emergency clinic that covers weekends. You’d only be needed one or two nights a week, but they are super flexible here.

What’s On Offer

• Salary $90-$130k per annum DOE
• 4 weeks paid annual leave (pro rata)
• 1 week paid CPD / study leave per year
• Minimal on-call
• Supportive and flexible environment
• Immediate start available
• Willing to train new grads or recent grads

The Practice

They are a relatively new, modern clinic equipped with all the gear you’d expect, ultrasound, digital x-ray, dental unit, Idexx in-house lab, GA monitoring, tonometer and more if you need it. They are not afraid to invest in equipment that helps you in your role. Everyone has a voice, they share opinions, thoughts, case studies, and hold discussions. Your opinion is valued, and your voice is heard

They are not corporate and don’t believe in burnout. They do believe in lunch breaks, fair rosters, and supporting their team. That includes your career, your interests, and your personal life.

The Location

Bendigo is thriving town with everything you need. Great schools, sports clubs, shops, and plenty to do after hours. Think mountain biking, bushwalks, wineries, and quick trips to Melbourne (just an hour away by car or train).

The clinics in a central location, walking distance to major shopping precincts, with onsite parking for staff and clients. Bendigo is also known for its Easter celebrations, beer festivals, and vibrant community vibe. What’s not to like?

So, what’s next?

Send your CV, don’t worry if it’s not up to date. We can’t get the whole story in a job ad so ask any questions. I’ll answer honestly, no hard sell.

Take your vet skills on an Aussie adventure, sun, balance, and purpose in every day.
